Handling Side Weather Strips

What happens here

Unlike the bottom weather strip, the side weather strips on the garage door should be painted. Painting these rubber weather strips, even if they have never been painted before, actually provides a protective layer that prevents them from oxidizing, drying out, cracking, and becoming brittle. This method has been shown to extend their lifespan and maintain their appearance over many years.
