My garage drive has a slight incline to garage door however the concrete where the door closes is flat. The garage is on the West End of my home which is the direction most storms blow in from. Every time it rains water seeps in under the door seal. Last week, we 12.5" of rain, so I had to open the doors everyday and sweep the water out. My home is 25 years old, so there was some slight buildup of scum where the garage doors close down on the concrete. I used a 3" scraper and then a wire wheel on a 4" DeWalt Grinder to clean the entire door seal area. I then used Mineral Spirts to wipe down the surface. It's pointless to make this installation without have a clean surface for the glue to adhere. I then cut the seal to length, 109 1/2" for my door. Laid the seal in place and closed the door down to where it was just slightly touching the seal. This allows the seal to be moved in exact position. Then your ready to scribe a pencil line on each side of the seal. After marking the seal, roll the seal back into the garage upside down next to the inner scribed line. After applying the adhesive you can roll the seal back over onto it. I used Gorilla 8008002 Ultimate Construction Adhesive White to glue the seal down. I used 1 tube per seal. The seal has recessed grooves on the back side and you need to use enough adhesive to flow up into the grooves. After rolling the seal onto the adhesive, I used 1 foot to apply pressure on the entire length of the seal. When you do this you'll hear some pops indicating the adhesive is flattening and air is being forced out. After that make sure the seal is in alignment with the pencil marks, using your fingers or a 1" flat roller, work from the center to the outside edge of the seal applying pressure to you get squeeze out of the adhesive. This will ensure there are not voids for water to seep in under the seal. After curing for 24 hours, you can use a utility knife to score the excess glue along door seal and remove the excess with a scraper. This process took me about 1.5 hr per door. After installation, the next day we had 1.5" of rain and NO water made it past the seal!
