What happens here

Following the same procedure as step 5 and step 6, pre-start the 1.5-inch galvanized flat-head nails into the pre-punched holes of the new weatherstrip. Carefully position the weatherstrip on the door jamb, making sure its back edge is flush with the garage door trim, then hammer the nails to secure it. Finally, apply a continuous bead of exterior-grade caulk along the seam where the weatherstrip meets the door jamb to complete the seal. Ensure to trim the rubber flap at an angle as done in step 8.

Goal: Pre-start nails, then install and caulk the new weatherstrip on the second side, ensuring flush alignment.
