What happens here

The video shows the process for preparing and installing the weatherstrip on the second side of the garage door. This involves measuring and cutting a new piece of weatherstrip (either by using the old piece as a template or a tape measure if the old one is broken), pre-starting nails, and then carefully installing it to the door jamb, ensuring a symmetrical and flush fit.

Tools and materials

  • Circular Saw — Cutting the plastic trim
  • Hammer — Pre-starting and driving nails
  • Utility Knife — Cutting the rubber seal
  • 1.5" Galvanized Flat Head Nails — Securing the new weatherstrip
  • New Weatherstrip — The new weatherstrip for the second side

What they say

Doing the opposite side, the other uh piece on the other door cuz this old style weather strip is a little bit narrow narrower than the new style weather strip. And he just wanted the two sides done. So, I'm going to be doing the opposite side to make sure it looks symmetrical. Going to mark where I want my cut. Then, you can either use knife or scissors. Pre-cut the rubber. Now, I'm going to make my saw cut. [Applause] [Music] Just make sure this back side right here is flush.
