Garage Door Bottom Seal Kit – Rodent Proof
Complete kit incorporating RODENT PROOF SEAL Garage door weather seal.
Our Garage Door Bottom Seal Kit – Rodent Proof is also good solution when the existing weather seal on the garage door is no longer available or the type that is available is not sufficient to properly seal your garage door to the floor.
This kit comes with 3″ wide (laid flat) RODENT PROOF weather seal that will provide an excellent seal to the floor. Even if there are small gaps currently under the garage door the weather seal provided in this kit will close up those gaps.

Easy to install.
Installing the Garage Door Bottom Seal Kit – Rodent Proof can be done by one person but it helps to have two people especially to slide the weather seal into the new bottom retainer.
In some cases you will able to install the new retainer over the existing retainer. In most cases it is preferable to remove the existing retainer, this typically gives you a better mounting surface for the new retainer.
Hold the first length of retainer up and onto the bottom section with the end of the retainer even with the end of the garage door, mark the retainer if any trimming or notching is needed. Using a hack saw, trim the retainer as needed. Now install the retainer using the provided screws. Continue this process with the remaining lengths of retainer trimming and/or notching the final length of retainer at the other end of the garage door.
Once the new retainer is installed securely to the bottom of the garage door insert the T portion of the weather seal into the slot on the bottom of the retainer. Here is where it is best to have two people involved, one to guide the weather seal into the retainer and the other to pull the weather seal along the length of the garage door. We use WD40 applied into the channel of the retainer to help the weather seal slide. When you have pulled the weather seal the length of the garage door, make sure that the weather seal is not stretched or stressed. Once the weather seal is installed, trim off any excess weather seal with a sharp utility knife leaving approximately 1/2″ of weather seal beyond the edge of the garage door. You can run a screw into the retainer channel to hold the weather seal in place.
