This guy’s always got the BEST videos. Other guys try to be funny, quirky, and tell bad jokes. Plus they don’t actually SHOW you what’s going on. This guy - videos are simple, explanation clear, and video actually shows you what to do.

Keep ‘em coming.

I like that you left the whole process in the video so that we could see an actual problem come up. Some people edit the video to make it seem like it goes perfect for them every time.

You’re kidding me!! I’ve been struggling with my cats ripping my seal up, losing heat/air through the door, and crying over this, and it’s this easy?? 😭 I thought I would have to remove that wood! Thank god for YouTube!!

everytime i search youtube for home improvement, I always get a video by this guy. He always has the best videos.

Very helpful! A little tip: the bottom strip was all torn up and I couldn't pull the spline out. I used a heat gun to warm up the metal piece and soften the vinyl spline and was able to pull it out.

Thanks for this! I never had a dad growing up, so learning these small (yet very significant) handy-man repairs is a lifesaver!

Pro tip, use the old strip to cut the new one to the correct length.

I love that the stripping didn't go in easy as pie but he demonstrated how to stick to the job and not get frustrated.

I agree with just about everyone else. One of my dogs ripped up one side of my weatherstripping when she got locked out. I was really struggling with how to do this and after watching this video had the old swapped with the new in under 5 minutes! Yay! thank you!

I watched my contractor put the first one in when my home was built, 7 years ago! I said it was so easy, I can remember that. Thank you for the reminder. I knew what to buy, just forgot what to do. Thank you for the video!

Im a newbie and totally thought mine was going to be glued on or something. Glad to see how easy this is. Need to do this to my back door asap!

I had been putting off replacing door weatherstrip for two winters, didn't think I could afford to have it done, and didn't know how to do it myself. But today it was windy cold and wind was blowing through so I thought what the heck I'm going to try and fix it .Looked it up on youtube and voila there you was. i went to the local hardware store bought the strip $4.99 came home very simple and easy thanks to your video. thanks Again.

This guy has by far the best home improvement videos. He’s easy to listen to. His videos are thorough and he’s descriptive.

I have seen a lot of home handyman type videos depicting different levels of skill. I hope you realize your videos provide a very positive set of instructions that are backed by your knowledge and skill. Thanks!

[rpatel]

Love your videos. Your productions are professional, easy to follow, and zero fluff! Don't have to deal with what seems like you are auditioning for a B grade movie role like some of the videos out there. Helpful for spectrum of skill levels.
As for this particular video, like some of viewers here I was about to start ripping the doorframe thinking the seal is built in. From now on, I am searching your collection of videos first before anything.

After watching this video I feel confident I can replace my door stripping. Thank you so much!

[crazypilatesmama]

So so helpful! Thank you so much for posting! I’m a very impatient wife and like to do things on my own.. this was so easy!

[Snwlprdss]

Thank you for the step by step. My 2 yr old grandson ripped the stripping from door knob to floor and I need to replace it. This is a big help.

[texastea]

Thank you from Texas! My husband did it the last time but he's out of town and our cat ripped up our strip. Did it myself this evening before he comes home lol

[gilbertsontw]

Thank you so much! I almost paid someone $165 to do this for me! How crazy that it’s so easy and fast! Thanks again!!
