What happens here

Take the new weather strip and align it with the channel in the door frame. Starting from the top, gently slide and push the weather strip into the groove using your hands. Work your way down the door frame, pressing the strip firmly into place. New weather strips typically come longer than needed (about 4 inches too long, according to the presenter). Once the strip is fully seated, take a pair of regular scissors and cut off the excess length at the bottom to ensure a perfect fit.

Goal: Securely attach new weather stripping to the door frame
