Yes, as long as T- isn't in the way. The slot is a little more than a quarter-inch wide.

The O ring is used to improve the sealing effect by increasing the squeezing elasticity between the garage door and the ground.
Because it is pliable, it does not require end caps. Depending on how much pressure you apply to the door when it closes, it flattens out.

It's crucial- The t size is not a true 1/4", but rather 3/16". When I was feeding the seal into the track, I couldn't figure out why - It would veer off to one side or the other. As Seal sat in the track, he noticed that there was a lot of activity. It was calculated and logical. The actual size of the T is 3/16" rather than the 1/4" stated in the description. It was not possible to use it. If you're replacing a seal, take a piece of the old one out and measure the T as well as the track opening. After you've double-checked the track and the T size, you can move on to the next step. place an order for the proper bottom seal. I'm going back to the merchant.
Installing a garage door on an older door isn't so simple! We have an older garage door that we removed the old seal on, unsure of what we were getting ourselves into. We bought a new seal from our neighborhood big box store and assumed it would fit all doors; boy, were we wrong! Our local garage door company wanted us to replace the track and the seal together for $4 because we couldn't find a store in our area (South East Kansas) that carried the 1/4" T size. A foot costs $50! This was discovered and it perfectly fits the bill; however, it will take some time and two people to complete. To lubricate and seal the track, you'll need to use some brute force and soapy spray. I recommend doing it several times throughout the process. To work at the proper height, we disconnected our door from the motor.
Installing this item took some time and effort, and it was at least a two-person job. The item, however, fell off my door after all the excitement of installing it (recommend soaking in dish soap and water).

This style would be better suited to a smaller door, and I wouldn't recommend it for a 16-foot door.
The garage door seal was sticking to the concrete and showing its age after many years of living in this house. I bought this after double-checking that it was the right size and T-shirt size. slot. At first, installation was a little difficult; videos make it appear so simple, but the application does not always follow through. Finally, it went together smoothly, and after adjusting the settings on the garage door opener to account for the extra thickness of this seal, it works perfectly.
There isn't a tool that I'm aware of that makes this simple. It's a little easier to work with if you remove the bottom of the door's frame. Moving this seal from one end to the other is impossible. It would be helpful if there was a lubricant. It took me about an hour to get this all the way across on both sides, but it fit and functioned perfectly.
It had been a long time coming, but I'm glad I finally got around to replacing the rubber seal on the garage door. Make sure you get the right size T slot for the rail insert. Also, manual door users should be aware that the door will now be about one inch higher than before due to the new rubber seal, and your T bar locks may not engage and will need to be adjusted. It is highly recommended.
The product had excellent overall quality. Because the T was so small, staying in a 1/4 track was extremely difficult.
