How to install replace garage door weatherstripping. Easy! Home Mender.

Hello. This is Dustin with Home Mender and today we're going to be keeping out some water by replacing some weather stripping on a garage door. This stuff is old and wood and it's just not doing its thing anymore. I'm gonna show you how to change it. Let's get to it. We'll be installing some vinyl weather stripping for a garage door. It's got this little rubber fin on it. So we don't have to worry about being neat when we take this off. That's going to cover our old paint line. Hammer and pry bar. Found a little bit of rot here. We're gonna get this door jamb replaced. Phew! The rest of the wood strip comes off. Fifty years of paint. is pretty thick. We're gonna go ahead and cut this. Clean up any nails you may have. Now everybody's got their own way of doing things. This is the way I like to do it. I like to cut in the sides first all the way to the top jamb, then 30 degree angle this cut on the fin of the top piece and it'll lay in just like this. Top fin overlaps the side .Cut with a hacksaw. Now use the pre notch holes to secure your sides with aluminum nails. Just so it contacts the door. Make sure you get a nice good fold on the fin. Other side. Contact the door. Give it a nice fold. Nail it off. Now our top piece butts side to side. Let's get that one cut. 30 degree angle the tips. Now install your top. Caulk it to your jamb. Give it a test. Working awesome. So that's it. Super easy. We just replaced your garage door weather stripping and now you can keep out those rats and possums. So for Home Mender Inc, This is Dustin.
