Troubleshooting
Seal not adhering properly
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. Press firmly along the entire length of the seal.
Drafts still present after application
Check if the gap is too large for the seal's dimensions or if the seal is not in continuous contact with both surfaces. Reapply or consider a thicker seal if necessary.
Material appears worn or damaged
Inspect the seal regularly. Replace sections that show signs of wear to maintain effectiveness.
