| 659429 | 2008-04-16 05:51:00 | With autumn finally settling in, and the neighbours giant oak tree shedding leaves down my driveway, I have decided to make an all-out effort this year to stop them blowing under the tilt-a-door and filling up my garage. I want to install a plastic weather strip along the bottom of the door to close off the access for said leaves but have come up blank on an internet search for such a product. Strangely enough an internet search throws up porn sites :illogical so what they use it for I hate to think! I need about 10 metres of 5-7cm wide by 2-3mm thick flexible polythene strip, so does anybody know who might sell this stuff? Cheers Billy 8-{) :confused: |

| 659430 | 2008-04-16 06:57:00 | Years ago we used to buy rolls of foam strip (self-adhesive one side) for coach building when fitting doors. I think they were a skellerup product. | sam m (517) | ||
| 659431 | 2008-04-16 06:59:00 | Have you tried contacting a garage door manufacturer and seeing if they will sell their strips separately? | Jen (38) | ||
| 659432 | 2008-04-16 07:15:00 | Para used to have all sorts of moulded rubber all different shapes. Perhaps this could be screwed on to the base of the door? I have the same problem. Solved it by getting a new broom for SWMBO, giving her a pat on the bum and murmuring "Get on with it" in sweet loving tones. Ken :clap PS please send the get well cards to the Hawkes Bay Hospital. |

Me - I'm looking for leaf eating garage dwelling insects as that would be the way to go. BillyT - tell us when you find something please, got the same problems. sarel |

| 659435 | 2008-04-16 23:03:00 | Our Securalift garage door has a flexible rubber strip running the length of the bottom of the door, which was obviously part of the package when it was installed. Perhaps you could try someone who sells them (http://www.doorworks.co.nz/). | Greg (193) | ||
