How to Cut Out Pile Weatherstripping to Remove and Replace It

Removing and replacing pile weatherstripping is a straightforward process that can be done with basic tools and equipment. Here are the steps:

1. First, remove any screws or nails that are holding the weatherstripping in place. Use pliers or a screwdriver to do this.
2. Next, use a utility knife or scissors to cut through the pile fibers along the length of the weatherstripping. Be careful not to cut the backing material or damage the door frame.
3. Once you have cut through the pile fibers, use a pair of pliers or your fingers to pull the weatherstripping out of the door frame.
4. After removing the old weatherstripping, clean the door frame with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris.
5. Measure the length of the door frame where the weatherstripping will be installed and cut the new weatherstripping to the correct length using scissors or a utility knife.
6. Slide the new weatherstripping into the groove on the door frame, starting at one end and working your way to the other end.
7. Once the weatherstripping is in place, use a rubber mallet or a block of wood and a hammer to tap it into place and ensure a tight fit.
8. Finally, test the door to make sure it closes properly and creates a tight seal.
