      the 24 year-old weatherstrip that is on my garage service door is black and seems very soft, it's a total hot mess though, just falls apart in your hand. So what type of black weatherstrip should i get and thanks a ton for your input !!!!!! can you send me a link to a good replacement , i need to go all around the door. I fixed the rotting at the bottom of the door, so getting the new weatherstriping in might be a challenge. i might have to cut it down and just glue that part on because i'm not sure if the slot has been affected (probably has) by my wood epoxy and fiberglass (bondo) repair down there. any tips on that is also welcomed. I wish i could just replace the entire door frame but that will have to wait until for a couple years.

    This is great! I have a back door with this weather stripping. When we had cats, they scratched it down on the bottom. Thanks for the video.

    I didn't realize that the original weather strip would come out so easily. Good video, Shannon!
