Jin&Bao Universal Garage Door Threshold Seal Strip 20FT Kit, Bottom Waterproof Rubber Weather Stripping Replacement

Some products look like a simple, great idea until you start to install it, and then you find out it's a nightmare and a joke. Not the case for this threshold seal! It's a simple product, the kit is complete, and it's easily installed for anyone with even modest abilities. Once it's done it works in combination with your door's attached bottom seal to provide a positive, airtight, sure seal, even if as in my case, the bottom of the door does not sit perfectly flush to the concrete slab of the garage floor on both sides! As for the installation, all I did was look at the pictures in the Amazon listing and do as shown without even bothering with the instruction sheet. I used a leaf blower and broom to clean the slab off where the seal will go. Then simply unroll the seal and lay it out flat, -then with the garage door open a few feet, set one end of the seal up against the door's roller channel on one side of the door and place the entire threshold in the approximate position it will lay. Now you can just eyeball where it will need to be cut, or you can measure and mark before cutting if you feel it necessary. Cut it to the right length so it fits between the door roller rails on either side of the garage door. Once it's cut to proper length, roll the door down almost all the way so it sets on the seal but you can slide the seal around to "fine tune" where the final position will be. You want the top (highest part of the seal) just inside the door. Now just roll the door down until it's just over the seal. The yellow "safety marking" on top makes a handy visual aid for aligning things so the seal is perfectly straight/parallel to the garage door. With the position of the seal "95% there" I walked outside to double check that the edge of the seal that was visible outside looked straight/parallel to the door out there as well, and repeated the process a couple of times just to make sure that everything looked good from both sides. I then closed the door completely on the seal to ensure everything was fitting snug between the door's bottom seal and the new threshold seal. If you're anal like me, you can walk inside and out multiple times just to be sure that everything is "just so", closing the door and re-adjusting several times. In the end, I found that basically it pretty much just lines itself up when the door is closed and all you gotta do is align the yellow stripe so it's a consistent distance from the door from one side of the door to the other. (Seems to end up with the stripe about 3/16" to a quarter inch from the door). That done, I rolled the door up and grabbed a permanent marker (the only things not included in the kit are a marker and something to cut the seal to length. In fairness, they also didn't include the oxygen I was breathing while I installed it, and I didn't expect them to provide air, so I'm calling it a complete kit!) Then being careful not to move the threshold while marking, just mark on the garage floor along both sides of the seal. Pull the seal away from the lines, run beads of the included sealant in between the lines you made, place the seal back down between the lines, and you're done! For my 16 foot door I only needed about one and a half of the two tubes of silicone included, and even using that much was almost overkill. Two tubes is probably plenty for a 20 foot door. A note about the silicon sealant included and the threshold itself: The sealant is not like silicon caulking. It's a very thick, very sticky SEALANT. I got a little on my hands and was worried about needing gas or paint thinner to clean up but to my surprise it actually washed off with soap and water, but it sure doesn't SEEM like any sort of wimpy water-based stuff! It's really a top quality sealant from what I can tell. The threshold itself is HEAVY, high quality, thick rubber and you aren't going to cut it with the wife's kitchen scissors, so you'll need something heavier duty to cut it than scissors, -which is a plus in my opinion. I cannot say how well it will hold down over time, but I can say that the finished installation seems very durable, and the threshold is heavy enough that I would expect that if or when the sealant might let go, it would be a simple matter of putting down new goop and setting it again. That said, -Depending on how klutzy I or my family are and how many times we kick it when we forget to pick up our feet, I'm guessing that the original sealant will last a good long time! Cons: I can't think of any. Pros: Really nice to buy something this well done. 5 stars. No bull.

This product has an edge over other similar listings. This is a notch taller, sturdier, but still soft enough rubber. Installed quite easily with the sealant / glue which came along. Water has not seeped under the garage roller door since. Very good quality, years of trouble solved so effectively, thank you kindly.

This band is good quality and also the glue holds. We installed it 1 week ago and go on top with the cars no problem Also guards from the water to go inside the garage
