How To Replace Garage Door Weather Strips. Home Energy Hacks.

What happens here

Starting from either the top or bottom of the weatherstrip, use a hammer and a pry bar to gently separate the old weatherstrip from the door jamb. Work your way along the length of the strip, prying it off section by section. Once the weatherstrip is removed, immediately use the hammer to bend down any exposed nails sticking out from the removed strip to prevent accidental injury.

Goal: Carefully pry off the old weatherstrip from the door jamb using a hammer and pry bar, then secure any exposed nails for safety.

Now, I'll start from either top to bottom and start working my way down removing it. That's how simple it comes off. Now we'll cut a new piece. Put a brand new piece on it. Nails sticking out on this. You don't want to just set this stuff down with nails sticking out cuz somebody can step on it and get tightness. Otherwise, you step on it, you're going to get tetus. Have to go to the hospital. It's good to go. Now, just lay it face up even though the nails are bent. Prior
