Yes! I definitely agree that the screws I used are too long! They were the shortest ones I had on hand so I used them. Major overkill with the size I had. If you have shorter/smaller screws definitely use them! Thanks for watching!
Thanks! I had never seen this type of seal before, so I wasn't sure how it should be installed. My local big-box hardware had the seal, but no picture and written instructions so vague I could not even tell which edge should be against the door! Turns out, it IS simple to install--but only after seeing a picture of how it works. So helpful! Thank you!
I would recommend a 3” screws vs 2” screws. You want to feel confident that weather strip is in securely. By the way, I am a manager at McDonald’s if you are going to question my qualifications.
Yeah there are different kinds of garage door weather stripping. I like the ones you mention. I might have to get that kind next time. I’ve seen it on other houses and they looks better than what I got! Thanks for watching!
hi. I have an unusual opening between my garage door and side. hard to describe. Can I get your email or some way to send you images and get advice on how to proceed? I have a triangular opening at the top and sides. ty
My seal is actually attached to a 3/4" think piece that is attached inside the garage door and is warping on the sunniest side of the garage. II can't find any replacement seal that looks that thick. Does anyone else have this issue or have a suggestion how to replace seals like this?
Yes. At our house there is a gap in our old weather strip and now bugs , and dirt and debris gets inside the garage. We have mud Dauber making nest making huge mess inside garage.
Those were the size of screws I had in my garage so I used them. Also the package came with thick nails that were maybe 1.5 inches long. I didn’t want to use them because I thought they’d split the wood trim. And they’d be difficult to remove when it’s time to replace the weather seal.

A 2inch screw for weather stripping! 🤯
Several 2" screws
IKR? Don't forget the Gorilla Glue just to make sure!
Should be 3” minimum. BTW, senior manager at McDonald’s speaking here. Thank you!
you wouldn't want anyone to steal it
😂
The screws are so long for the thickness (thinness) of the rubber strip. I think screws half that long would have worked just fine.

@@digitalcamproducer white painted Phillips screws 3/4 inch in length would have been the pros choice
Why not glue it?. It will provide better seal .
The screws are massive. Could glue behind you much smaller white headed screws Aesthetics count.

Great video!! Very to the point, thank you
Holly! A 3/4 " screw is plenty to secure it in place.
Excellent video! Thanks for posting!
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed my garage weather strip installation tutorial! Thanks for watching!
A white truss head screw would look nicer and probably hold better. Would only need 3/4 inch long.
The part where you put screw is what goes to the door side. The thick side is what gets nailed to frame.. But should work the same.
I bought the same stuff he did and he installed it per the package instructions. Doesn't make much sense to me either
Just need to find the product now.
Many hardware stores sell screws with pre-painted heads, maybe you could’ve opted for a white head screw, or just painted it yourself.
Good Video
Great video.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed my garage door video!
Great Video! Exactly what i was looking for...Thank You
Curious why you used the weather stripping only instead of the trim/weather stripping only, cost?
nice job. Thanks.
👍🏼👍🏼thanks!!
Should proababy do this with the door closed for a better seal
I seen some weather strippings that come individually with a plastic wood looking piece that you nail in

2" screws are overkill. I would've used 3/4" or 1" screws, but thanks for the video.
Going to need much larger and longer screws. 😂
Will this work on a roll up door

Does this trim come in different colors?
Is this weather stripping on the side needed?
Defintely needed if you want to keep the cold and hot on the outside.
Yes. At our house there is a gap in our old weather strip and now bugs , and dirt and debris gets inside the garage. We have mud Dauber making nest making huge mess inside garage.
Very much needed unless you want cold and bugs and mice
What an eyesore!! My eyes would focus on all those screw heads every time I look at the garage. I do not recommend anyone doing it this way.
Why such long screws?????
Those were the size of screws I had in my garage so I used them. Also the package came with thick nails that were maybe 1.5 inches long. I didn’t want to use them because I thought they’d split the wood trim. And they’d be difficult to remove when it’s time to replace the weather seal.
That’s a long screw.
Don’t do with screws just use nails
Where’s the top seal? That’s supposed to go up first and then the sides. Sorry, that seal looks like dog shit.
Haha man tells it like it is
Unlike some of us, others are not picky 🤣. It's his house, his garage, his dog _ _ _ _.
LMAO!!!!!!
I don't know how all y'all can tell what's happening. I sure can't
I was happy to see this video would demonstrate installing weather stripping on the top of the door...WRONG! Very disappointed.
Screws are way too long for that usage.
Should proababy do this with the door closed for a better seal
