Troubleshooting

Seal is not sticking properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust before applying. Use a stronger adhesive if necessary.

Drafts are still present after installation.

Check for any gaps or areas where the seal is not fully contacting the frame. Reapply the seal if needed, or consider using additional sealing products for larger gaps.

Seal is too short.

Measure accurately before cutting. Overlap the seal slightly if possible, or use multiple pieces if needed.
