The weather seal is a 3" wide vinyl weather stripping section that attaches to the back side of your sliding door. This weather seal can also be replaced if needed very easily by sliding the weatherstripping into the t-slot groove on your patio pet door. This bulb seal provides a superior weather seal between the insert and the wall and sliding door.

To determine which height range will work with your slider, open the slider and measure from the very bottom inside track to the very top inside track.
