If your looking to get a new bottom weather seal on your door and you have 1/4″ T slots on the bottom of the door, this is the perfect weather seal. A new weather seal will make the world of difference when replacing an old worn, torn and flattened weather seal. If the floor is in good shape and is level, the 3″ garage door T style weather stripping will be good. If the floor is off a bit and there is a gap or gaps under the door that are minor, use the 4″ weather seal, the 4″ seal can also be used on good, level floors, it will give you a larger contact patch and a better over all seal. If there are major issues with the floor or gaps under the door, the 6″ wide seal may be the answer. The 4 & 6″ weather seal can be “trained” to keep its U shape, particularly on the ends where most gap issue occur. Simply install foam rubber or a lenght of garden hose wrapped in duct tape into the U of the weather seal. This will keep the weather seal in its U shape in the area of any gaps or floor issues.
