When I needed a bottom seal asap (froze to the floor, ripped off door and then wife drove over it), I called the local garage door shops. One dropped off a piece of what they use (Aluminum U, rubber bulb seal) and a handful of screws for what I thought was a reasonable price. I needed to cut it to fit as expected but it's fine. For big things, amazon often has crazy prices. I have no idea about side/top seals but I would ask the local shop about them too.
Yea, I'm installing things myself so just want to hit up Amazon if possible. As I am sure it will all be replaced when I purchase new doors. While I want inexpensive I don't want cheap, this is why I asked.
Stupid question but how do you attach it with the screws? Mine froze to the garage floor last week and I was able to push it back on as it only came off in the middle couple of feet but I'd like to put a couple new screws as there's a slight gap there (never an issue before but epoxy now on floor made it more "grippy" in those conditions I've found out). I haven't given it a proper look but on quick look don't see how to get at the screws.
Straight into the face of the door panels The same way every hinge and roller is attached. I put in six so that it would never pull off again but I suspect three would have been enough. I have no idea how much force the motor makes when the strip is frozen to the floor though.
A lot of them look like this, you can see the track would be screwed to the bottom of the garage door and the seal slips into the track
I was wrong, mine is an L, not a U. I still prefer that to an I. I am not relying on screw threads alone to fight the ice.
Pretty sure mine looks like this. So by the looks of this the panel would have to be out of the tracks (out of the doorway) to be able to slide the rubber out to replace a screw?
If I was adding a screw, I would just drill through the rubber to make a clearance hole and then run the screw in.
Mine is an aluminum U. I bought the rubber from my local garage door guy, and slid it into my original aluminum U. I had to open up the little grooves in a few spots where they had been squeezed a little too tight from use. I removed the extrusion to do so. Rubber was 2 bucks a foot.
Had mine replaced recently. It was this "U" profile rubber only. The new strip was a taller "squishier" strip. The old one laid flat was about 3I was wrong, mine is an L, not a U. I still prefer that to an I. I am not relying on screw threads alone to fight the ice.
This is the plastic one that failed.
EDIT:
Are you just replacing rubber or rubber and holder? Home depot stocks the rubber.
Checked.
Fortnine.I just realized your bodywork is the same as the FS 450 plastics that this guy put on his KTM 950 (along with a 1290 motor). $70 is a steal for the full set. Where'd you get them from?
There's an install tool! Who knew?
Is that from top of cylinder to top of piston?
Yes. Tdc, straight edge across the top of the cylinder head,to the top of the piston
