9 ft. Replacement Bottom Weatherseal

The seal was very easy to use. Slide old one out and new one in. Trim to length and done. Immediate difference in garage environment as wind and cold are now blocked out.

Great OEM replacement part. Over easy to install.

This weatherstrip is OEM for Clopay garage doors. My garage door is 16 feet wide, so this replacement had 2 feet extra material. I used a drywall knife to cut off most of the old weatherstrip. It was time consuming to slide out the T shaped edges since several places were dented. I straightened these places before sliding in the new weatherstrip. The new weatherstrip cuts easily with a drywall knife. The entire process of removal and install took 1.5 hours. Pictures 1 and 2 are from the house inspection when we bought the house. Picture 3 shows the new weatherstrip.

I used this on a Clopay door (check the label on the door for the brand) that has two T-Tracks, each with a 5/16" inner width. It fit perfectly. It's not easy getting the old weatherseal off. The door should be raised so that the bottom of the door (where the seal is) is in the curve at the top of the vertical part of the door track (the metal track the door rolls up in). That will push the bottom edge of the door toward the outside and give you a straight shot to the seal track on the bottom of the door. It'll be difficult to remove and insert the seal if direct access is blocked by the door track. You may have to find and remove two screens that act to block the seal's movement in the track. If it's been replaced before, you may find that there are several crimps in the seal track to hold it in place. I was unable to uncrimp those. I found it difficult to slide the old seal out of the track. Part of my track was crushed and tighter than the rest of the track. I used vice grips to grab the old seal and pounded on the vice grip with a rubber mallet. I also cut off part of the leading edge of the seal because it seemed to be deformed in a way that may have made removal difficult. But I'm not sure cutting it helped. I didn't find a way to cut the part of the seal in the seal track, so that may not be a good approach. Sliding the new seal into place is easier than removal. You'll have a bit left over for a 9' door. For the excess, I evened the left and right lengths, then cut off just the T-part (the part of the seal that rides in the track). I folded the remaining excess (several inches) back under the door inside the seal. That is supposed to keep the seal from sliding out of the track. I didn't put the two screws back in or crimp the track any more than it already was. The seal does seem to give a good weatherseal.

Had to cut it to 8 ft length, but it fit perfectly! OEM product.

My husband mentioned we needed a new seal, while I was grabbing some other items I decided to find this item. Very easy to find and replace. Husband had no issues getting this on by himself. Not very pricey either.

Worked perfect and was easy to install

Worked perfectly. I tried another brand n would not slide in the slots. This is the same brand as my door and slid in very easy n worked perfectly

Yes! It was awesome!
