Heavy-Duty U+O Ring Universal Garage Door Bottom Seals Weatherstrip Weather Stripping Rubber with Aluminum Track Retainer Kit, Black (16FT, 1-5/8" Width)

My old weather stripping was falling off and was chewed by rats. I tried to replace the weather stripping only but the track was so bent that the weather stripping wouldn't go in. I needed to replace the track and seal.I wasn't sure if this was going to work but I bought it to give it a try. The 1-1/4 track fit the garage door perfectly. I slide one side of the seal on with help from my wife. It went pretty easy without using any soap and water. On the other side I used a window screen roller to push it in, that was brilliant and easy. Install was faster and easier than expected. The U+O seal is much better than the U style I had on the door previously. I highly recommend getting and using a window screen roller, allot faster and easier than trying to push the seal in with a screwdriver.Fast and easy Install, no problem with screws breaking, didn't even have to pilot hole them. The rubber seal never fell out of the track during install. The seal comes folded but no problem installing, I didn't have to let it sit in the sun. The only problem I had was the last piece of track was 3/8" too long. The install took me about half an hour.

So I don't usually leave reviews mainly because I'm lazy but after installing this I had to. So for starters, I don't know garage doors, but I consider myself relatively handy. Projects that are designed to take an hour usually take me an hour and a half or more either due to me trying to cut corners, or just blatantly doing something wrong and having to correct it. I almost DIDN'T purchase this product or any product because most reviews of this product and similar products state how difficult it is. The instructions clearly state its easier with 2 people and while it might be, i didn't have that ability to tie up my wife while she was with the kids so i tooo it on solo. We have a 16ft metal/aluminum maybe garage door that had a sort of metal track attached to the bottom of the door and a single line down the middle where the previous seal was inserted. The previous seal was so old and crusty that I had to cut it off with a knife and found no way to remove the metal bottom plate that was sort of inserted/part of the garage door. I opened the door part way so it was about at eye level or chest level then started working. I think the instructions said to cut power to your door and maybe thats safe, but here is an example of me cutting corners. Once I cut off the old seal, I used painters tape to tape up the track to the bottom of the door(as I saw someone do in some images on these reviews). Once the track was taped up, the last piece had to be cut. I couldn't find my hand saw so I opted for using a oscillating saw which cut through the track with ease with the proper blade installed. Once that piece was cut I taped it up like the rest and grabbed my drill. As everyone has stated, you HAVE TO drill pilot holes, unless maybe the door you have is wood. I tried to drill the screw directly through the metal/alluminum/ whatever standard garage door is, and it didn't work. Drilling the pilot holes was kindof a pain and this could have been my drill bits, but metal on metal the bit slides around, and obviously you don't want your hole bigger than the screw, so my holes were never perfectly center, but it all worked out. After trying to drill the pilot holes while having the track taped up I realized that the track was moving, so after drilling the first hole I used some quick grip bar clamps to clamp the track to the door. Then resumed drilling all the pilot holes. I focused on one track at a time, so after the pilot holes were done on the first track I would screw them into place, then move to the next track which worked well. Once the track was up I was concerned about getting the rubber seal in since most people say it's hard. (Also deterred me from almost not buying this) the instructions state what to do, and to use a screwdriver to sort of pop it in place. I used some silicone garage door lubricant down the whole track, one at a time. Popping the seal in using the screw driver method in their instructions was such a breeze, this is what drove me to write my review. Use lubricant, use a screwdriver and you'll have the seal up in minutes. I used a ladder to be my "2nd person " and draped the seal over the ladder as i moved down from one end to the other. Without the ladder or a 2nd person holding the seal up, im sure it wouldve been harder. Once one side was in place, I lubed the other track and followed the same routine. Once it was in place I knew the hard part had started. Closing the door brought it down, but it detected the new seal and probably assumed it was a foot(safety sensors) so the door wouldn't close. I then had to adjust the down and up force on the garage door to get the door to properly close (I used YouTube for help because again, I don't know garage doors). Once the door was closed, I noticed the chain was now hanging lower, so I had to return to YouTube to figure out what to do. There's a pin to adjust with some wrenches and that eventually fixed that. Overall I am pleased, it took me about 2 hours between installation, adjusting the actual garage, and adjusting the chain. Oh also, it has these 2 side plugs to put in the little rubber round thing in the middle. I had to remove these plugs because with them, I couldn't get the door to close. It kept tripping the sensor and I guess thinking something was under the door.All in all, I'm very satisfied to finally have a sealed garage door after 8 months of just dealing with a broken seal and avoiding this and other products because of reviews.

I've replaced the bottom seal on two doors with this product now and am very happy with it. The aluminum track is cut into shorter sections so it is easier to handle with just one person. Just be very cautious to line up the ends perfectly or the rubber seal will bind when it goes through the joint. I would recommend using better screws. The ones provided are ok if you predrill everything close to the same size as the threads, but are fairly low quality and a bit difficult to work with. Make sure you have a second person to help put the rubber seal in. It can be very difficult to get to slide through the rails, especially on the longer models. Wiping down the edges of the rubber seal with dish soap helps significantly. We had the best luck having one person steadily pull on the end in the track while the other person squeezed the ends of the rubber seal into approximately the right shape to enter the rail. Watch very closely for the edges to slip out and fix it immediately when they do, backing the seal out a bit if needed.

TOOK ABOUT 2 HR TO INSTALL. WAS GREAT. THE OLD ONE WAS AROUND 30 YEARS OLD IT WAS HARD AS A ROCK. THE NEW ONS BETTER THAN EVER, PERFECT.

I had an odd track at the bottom of my door that I tried multiple times to find an appropriate fit for. Nothing standard would fit it. Ultimately I gave up and replaced the entire track with this system and I’m glad I did. It is solid.The tracks are an easy installation comes 5 to a 16 foot package. Line them up, painters tape to get it perfect. Hacksaw for any small piece left at the end (I had to cut about an inch off one track piece). Then, silicone them one by one and put it in place along the length. Finally, use the self tapping screws to screw the tracks into place. Word to the wise, you may need a right angle drill attachment for the very ends as they tend to be behind the wall just a little.Only minor complaint about the track portion is the screws were quite long, so they stick up above the bottom lip of my metal door. I will be cutting them shorter now that it’s fully installed and filing off the rough edges. If you have a metal door with only a small amount needed to go through at the bottom you may consider buying some shorter self tapping screws.Tracks took about 30 minutes being careful.Most time consuming part was the rubber into the tracks. I followed the directions to use a screwdriver to pop into place and it’s very solidly in the tracks. This is not difficult but it’s quite time consuming. This part took maybe two hours.Budget 2-3 hours for full installation. You will be happy with the result if done correctly to instructions.Overall I am very happy with the product.
