Why Garage Door Weather Stripping Wears Out
Rubber and vinyl seals are wear parts. In the high desert, they wear out faster.
Weather stripping closes the gaps between the door and the opening. When it is working, it keeps out cold air, dust, rain and snowmelt, leaves, and pests. When it fails, you see daylight under the door or along the edges, feel drafts, or find water and debris inside.
Boise's strong sun, dry air, and cold winters harden rubber and vinyl until they crack, shrink, and stop sealing. Mice and other pests also chew through worn bottom seals. Most seals need replacing well before the door does.
A quick check: close the door on a sunny day and turn off the garage lights. Any daylight you see around the door is a gap that needs sealing.
Where the Seals Go
A garage door seals in three places, and each one uses a different part.
We check all three on every weather stripping call, so the door ends up sealed on all four sides.

Our Standards for Weather Stripping
Every seal job is fitted to the door and the floor.
All four sides checked: bottom, both sides, and top inspected on every visit
Seal matched to the retainer: bottom seal sized and shaped to fit your door's retainer
Floor checked: uneven floors addressed with the right seal height or a threshold seal
Perimeter set to the door: stop molding positioned so the seal touches the door without dragging
Door travel tested: new seals checked so they don't bind or cause the door to reverse
Payment: cash, check, credit card, ACH/bank transfer, or Zelle
How Weather Stripping Replacement Works
Usually a single visit.
- 01
Inspect
We check the bottom seal, retainer, perimeter weatherstrip, and section joints, and look for daylight and drafts with the door closed.
- 02
Replace
Worn seals are removed and replaced. Bottom seals are fitted to the retainer, and perimeter stop molding is set so the seal meets the door evenly.
- 03
Test
We run the door through full cycles to confirm it closes tight without binding, and check that the opener doesn't reverse because of the new seal.

If the door doesn't close evenly, the problem may be the springs or track, not the seals. See garage door balancing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Look for daylight under or around the closed door, feel for drafts, and check for water, leaves, or pest droppings inside the garage. Seals that are cracked, flattened, brittle, or torn need replacing.
The bottom seal is attached to the bottom of the door and presses against the floor. Perimeter weatherstrip is mounted on the door frame along the sides and top, and the door closes against it.
Usually. A taller bottom seal can fill larger gaps, and a threshold seal on the floor can help where the slab dips. We check the floor when we measure.
It depends on sun exposure, temperature swings, and pests. In Boise's climate, seals often need replacing every few years, and south- and west-facing doors tend to wear them out faster.
A tight bottom seal is one of the main ways to keep mice and other pests from getting under the door. Worn or chewed seals should be replaced promptly.
