Great product
It was easy to install it, and the issue is fixed

Great quality-best for two person install
I am very happy with the quality. The seal provided is excellent. While the instructions are easy, two people would make the rubber seal installation easier. Maybe 1/3 of the time required.

Keeps the devil out
This product meets expectations: It creates a seal at the bottom of the door. If you had trouble recheck your work. Most likely it was user error.A 20ft track will actually be 19.75, and same goes for the other lengths, meaning you will have a slightly shorter track than the actual length of the garage door.If you don't like it shorter, order a size up and cut your track down to the length of your door using a miter box and a hack saw.My wife did this by taping all but the last section of track to the garage door bottom, marking the length that needed to be cut, and made a new screw hole at the end of the cut section. You can then tape the remaining piece up to check the fit. My wife did this the with no challenge and she's a small person.1. Tape the track to the base of the door, make sure the sections are taped tightly at the seams so they don't move and check that you're not shifting them as you do the next part; drilling.2. Drill the holes, using a drill bit made for metal that is as thick as the core of your screws but not wider than the thread so that the screws won't fall out and can catch the metal. You may have to start with a smaller size bit and go up in size if the metal door is hard to drill or you don't have a good drill bit. Use the pre drilled holes in the aluminum track as guides for your drill, making sure the taped sections do not shift as you drill.3. Screw the screws in, checking again for keeping the tracks in line.4. Install the rubber: it helps to have a second set of hands for this.Make sure the rubber is folded correctly with the tube on the inside (see pictures). While one person feeds the rubber through the end of the track, the other guides it along the track, it helps to coordinate the motions so the person feeding the tube in and the person pulling do so at the same time to avoid potentially catching and tearing the rubber.This part went fairly quickly without the need for soap to lubricate the rubber. If you need a lubricator, use a little soap and water, do not use oils as this can affect the quality and life of the rubber.This probably took 2.5 hours to install with my wife helping make sure the tracks stayed in line and to pull the rubber through.* Note, if you have uneven cement, you may have to grind that down with an angle grinder to avoid gaps under the seal.Would recommend,Best of luck.

My garage door looks nicer with the aluminum strip
I bought the 16' because I have two 8' garage doors and if you get two 8' is more expensive. You may need to cut one aluminum strip but the result was great. Easy to install if you have a second person to help you guide the seal and your pulling. Took me about 40 minutes to get it done on both doors.

Works well. Tricky install
This door seal appears to work very well. It definitely will keep the water out. I should throw in a few install tips here. Screwing on the metal guide rail is easy peezy. After struggling by myself, I had someone help gently pull the rubber seal onto the guide rail while I helped feed the seal onto the rail. We had to go slow because the rubber seal would pop out on the feeding end if we went too fast. It took about 10 minutes to get the rubber seal all the way across the rail. I also splashed soapy water on the rubber seal to help it slide better onto the rail. I would recommend not cutting the rubber seal until you’ve slid it all the way on the guide rail.

Great seal for a heavy door - third seal on a Crawford door and this one is marvelous!
Update 3-2-2024 - The seal did a great job over the summer and the garage door was closing and sealing at the right height. But winter has taken a toll - the rubber has split from the track opposite the garage door opener - maybe too much flex from the opener when it closes the door, but it is an 18 foot wide wooden door that doesn't flex so I don't know why it cracked on the seal right below the opener's connecting arm. I'll be replacing the seal with the same one I guess - maybe this is a one-off quality control issue. But it is a fundamental issue for a garage door DIY person!I have a Crawford wooden garage door that is pretty heavy - it is a double wide (16 foot) door and when I bought the house the seal looked okay. The winter snow melt proved that it wasn't so I replaced it with a wimpy seal - I noticed as soon as I'd finished that the door shut about 1/2 lower than previously - the original color was white, the last paint job (to sell the house to us) was a light tan or light "harvest gold". Still, I had spent money and sweat-equity so I looked at that white strip at the top of the door for 5 years before I had to do something.I looked on websites and found systems with brackets that seals could be placed into. They all were a pretty penny, some more than others. But how could I get that 1/2 inch back? I didn't want to add more weight to the door! When I saw this model and looked at the prices, I figured why not amazon and purchased it. Better safe than sorry, I ordered the 20 foot length. They say foresight is cheap - and in this case it was an extra $7-8 dollars. I knew the aluminum brackets were going to be problematic - but I'm an old hand with a hacksaw. Better to have a spare bracket afterward than to have cut something too short or screwed it up.Pros - Everything in the box was exactly what I ordered. Enough for a 20 foot door, and I only needed fifteen and three quarter feet of the kit. The channels were easy to place - I hung the extra 1/8 inch of metal over the inside edge so the outer edge was flush with the outside of the door. My wife helped screw the tracks into the door bottom - and with two people working it was easy to line the channels up so there would be no offsets as we put the seal in. The thick seal was easily cut with heavy scissors after in place - you know the heavy kitchen shears. My door had to be placed all the way up to get the channels where the flexible rubber seal with the central O portion in place - a C-clamp in the channels and it looked like a dream come true. But...Cons - The seal was floppy even though it was thick - the O portion didn't seem to remain distended coming out of the box as it was folded over 5 times or so. But that is a good thing - once I started shaping it, the tension of the seal took over and it seemed a solid mass of rubber ready to seal. So working up over my head at one side of my garage with 15 feet of heavy rubber dangling down, I tried to slide the two "T" ends of the long seal into the tracks and move them across the garage door. Maybe there is an easier way that just using one's hands and attempting to overcome friction by "walking" the material along the door bottom. By myself I was able to get about 5-6 feet of the seal onto the bottom of the door. At that point I was pushing and pulling too much and would pull the seal out of the tracks. My wife & sons came back from a weekend culture event and I put them to work - one of us to line up the seal with the channel at the end of the door, my wife at the end of the seal halfway across the door, and I moved between the two "walking" or milking the seal along the aluminum track. If there were any instructions anywhere on how to lubricate the aluminum to allow the seal to slide into the two slots and down the length of 15+ feet EASILY - I totally missed them! I did wonder if silicon spray or WD-40 or even water would have improved the process. It wasn't a terrible struggle - but it was no walk in the park!It is a great seal on the bottom of a well made Crawford Door - for older settled folks it was a struggle, for 20 somethings it would likely have only taken two, and I'll bet they would have finished the installation and a couple of beers in the time it took my wife, my 15 year old and me to finish it! Now I need to go buy a few beers!

Garage seal
The seal looks good quality, not had chance to fit yet,. It took a while to arrive due to the distance it was coming from (an oversight on my behalf).

The rubber quality is very bad.
The media could not be loaded. The rubber quality is very bad. This rubber strip is fragile like a biscuit. It cracks along the lines while installing it. It has no elasticity or toughness at all. It is simply a garbage product. Both ends of the garage can only be wrapped with iron sheets, otherwise it will crack along the lines. Too disappointed!Amazon shouldn't be selling such a bad quality product.
