All,
Here is a write-up on window rubber from Chris E. on Facebook.
Materials:
www.homedepot.com/p/Frost-King-E-O-5-16-in-x-1-4-in-x-17-ft-Black-EPDM-Cellular-Rubber-Weatherstrip-Tape-V25BK/202844545
Frost King EPDM D-Profile Rubber Weatherstrip, 5/16”x1/4” (sold in 17ft. lengths)
Pop out the tracks with a soft pry tool. This can take a little bit of work but it will happen. Be patient
Scrape out the old dried rubber and clean the tracks.
Now bend the tabs back to stock shape so that they are tight when reinstalled. Last thing you want is the track falling into the door.
Now you can peel and lay in the foam. Leave a quarter inch over on each side to trim later.
The inner track is always harder to get in so do it first. This will save stress.
Once all the tabs give you that solid lock, go ahead and trim the foam to size so you get a tight seal. Side note. The tabs on the tracks should be oriented with the split side facing the ground. If you don't you're gonna have a bad time mmmkay. Lol have fun and enjoy.
Good luck!
