    I have the problem of water getting into my garage every time it rains and cold air coming in all winter. So I searched you tube and your video was the easiest for me to understand, a DIY er, who does a lot of my own repairs. Never knew there was a seal for the floor. With winter coming, I can now insulate properly now. Very helpful video.

    My garage has been leaking badly for years. We're going to replace the sealer but our garage door has some kind of bottom bracket thing we may have to take off first, so in the meantime, I'm going to try the sealer on the floor--I'm super hopeful about that, because we think the main issue is gaps where the weather seal is falling apart. Thank you for this video! (Also I'm excited about the brush attachments for the drill for several other projects!)

  • @firemandadffd3217
    @firemandadffd3217 2 місяці тому

    Sooo. The blue knobs he suggested to turn in the back of that motor are the force knobs not the limits to adjust the height so don't adjust those and think it will work. Second. There was nothing wrong with his seal. They come loose like that. You can feed an old garden hose through it to help that out. Third, don't put white lithium grease anywhere on your garage door. It leaves a mess and attracts dirt and dust to it. Wd-40 is prefect. Bad information in this video but the threshold at the end does work so.. good for that.

I now have a garage door just like yours but it lands a bit more forward so the seal is too far back to be useful. (1) How can I remove the seal? It's stuck on there pretty good, as it should be. (2) Do you think I might be able to save it and re-glue it in place like you did in this video or I'll probably destroy it in the process? (3) If you think it can't be reused, would you remove it and then get a new seal or just leave it alone and add the new seal? Thanks for your advice!

    In your video you show your Seal and say it is 20 feet long , You also show the Threshold as being 20 feet long. Then you leave links where to get them at Amazon, But your links are for 10 feet . I can see many people ordering the wrong size. can you correct your links.

    @joeyzbf2 9 місяців тому +1

    ❌ WRONG !!!
    1️⃣ Your wasting time and money installing a threshold.
    2️⃣ can’t sweep and hose out garage.
    3️⃣ people will trip over it
    ✅ CORRECT WAY: almost all garage door seals are round and hallow. If your seal goes flat or is unevenly sealing to concrete and has gaps and you want to increase threshold… Take and cut large diameter garden hose and feed it inside the hallow seal and trim edges. You can also purchase a hose 1/4” diameter smaller then the seal for even tighter fit. Now your door has a better even seal 👍🏻
