How to Replace Garage Door Bottom Seal Weatherstripping

hi in music and literature how to install a bottom master rope and a steel rod for most steel brush stores have a two channel system with a weather stripping the slides inside the two roads and we're going to replace the bottom seal on this garage door first to do that we need to disengage open it from the door bottom of the door just below the track Junction right here and what's my use advice you have to pry the channel aluminum channel so that you can get the weather stripping yet because it's been hammered shut from the previous installed so you open that up if needed you get it get it again what a time to get down to the to this will not fly this weather stripping is bent so you put a screwdriver in here and you pry up on it you keep trying until you you get it open enough so that you can slide the new weatherstripping in there now in order to get the weather stripping out we have to slide it out these two grooves now sometimes a weather stripping is expected to slide out so you have to go back and figure out what's catching on it I think the little tight there so I'm going to bring it down and try it again to get that so that get the weatherstripping up now now it slides out at this point is slide the weatherstripping sometimes that the weather 15 won't slide out you can slice the weatherstripping in half and just go down we go down the length of the weather stripping and then just slide one side out at a time why the older then with your heart and ride a fat it sounds way to get that out we just go down go down the length of the strip you painting and then makes it easier to slide out and slide out one one side at a time it also helps you locate the parts that may be bent between two spreads with the screwdriver so this slides out one piece the half of it and the other half coming out the groove now slice now we're going to insert the new weatherstripping to fold it into a you and you start both groups insert one and to get both started at the same time I started you hold about a foot from the end or from about a foot from the door and then you slide it in and continue to hold it you shake you go back to front with your left hand your fourth type of foot with your left hand holding it and you shake continue sliding right to this lens now bigger doors on bigger doors a lot of times it won't slide 16 things get to the right gummy in there what you can use E if it was sticky and you have trouble getting it to go you just backtrack with it so you can visit toy boat prayer Windex we use a greased lightning orange plastic in our hands any kind of a soap product you know if you use deputy poured into these channels but basically you come along here and spray so both chances and this helped the bond weatherstripping slide through those proud of again holding the cut from the end or pushing the door with a left hand slide it maintains you go back a foot flight another foot the back of foot continue to hold the even flag this in the back another clip slide it in another step another foot right in to throw the other foot right then when it gets to the other hand you want to slide it about three or four inches beyond the end and the kiss hand we make B we fold the us to go in half and turn it inside the U and then push this the Asheville back the other way and this helps keep the a stable helps keep it from sliding so this is this is in here and fold it in about three inches go back to the other side and we cut the astragal about three inches from the end so when you order Asheville you want to get it up six inches longer than your door but we're going to pull it a little bit I usually will mark the festival I'll put where the end is I'll pull it out a little bit fold it in about three inches from the end and roll it in little and then slide it slide this inside the bottom of authorities you have to kind of fold the inside him get that to go over with you then you just keep rolling it till you get it hold this to get it all the way in and just check him make sure that it's all the way worship other way to the end but not beyond it I'm gonna roll this in just a little bit more and then you put your fingers in there make sure it's all going in and make sure that it's you have a W in there not this was knotted up so I can possibly come out called the door to jam so we're all set whenever you change the bottom rubber on a door you also have to adjust this limit the other thing I want to point out is a lot of times the bottom fixture covers the end of the channel if that occurs have to remove the bottom fixture to fix this and I would recommend getting a professional to help you without it's dangerous removing a bottom fixture and we're not prepared at this time to show you how to do that okay
