Holding back the rain.........
Cheaper here than elsewhere.So, it comes in a big box with the adhesive inside. Do yourself a favour and purchase an extra tube of the sticky stuff.If your garage floor is uneven you would be best trying to smooth it out as best you can. Ours is concrete so, other than scraping across a layer of concrete mix to try and get the effect, you're pretty much stuck.Make sure your measurements are correct, you don't want to cut this and then find out you've cut short etc. It needed to fit in snugly with the door that I have and I spent time measuring up in order to get it right.My floor was uneven and as a result, the rain water still seeps in in some places though no where near as much as it did before I put this down.It's ideal for the job, just follow the instructions and get your garage floor as clean as possible. I'd also consider getting a bag of 'post fix' and making up a fairly loose mix to spread across the area you're going to stick this to, ensuring that it's a nice flat and hopefully smooth surface. Use 2 tubes of adhesive to ensure you get as much of the excluder stuck to the floor.

It works
Bit of a pain to install, but that is only because it is of good quality and a pain to cut. Recommend making sure your floor is level before starting, if not then it will appear a bit wonky to look at to get the correct seal

Impressive product
This was the only such product I could find which would close the average 29mm gap left by the local council contractors when they replaced the door to the garage I rent.It was not he cheapest on the market but it is very well designed and solid rubber throughout with no air cavities in the high quality extrusion moulding.Apart from preventing ingress of water and debris under the door, my main reason for purchase was to make it more difficult for any would be thieves to get a crowbar under the bottom of the door and try to lever the up and over door off its flimsy upper catches without making it obvious. In this regard it has gets a big thumbs up.I was apprehensive as to whether the adhesive provided with it would be sufficiently tenacious to bond to the concrete floor but again I am impressed. After 24 hours it has set so hard that you would need to dig up the concrete to remove it!One tip I would suggest is that you take time to fit the strip carefully around each side pillar of the garage. You can simply cut it between making installation easier and quicker but by trimming carefully to fit around the pillars you will achieve a much better seal and further resistance to forced entry.

Easy to fit.
Weather defender was easy to fit. Adhesion seems strong, it is still in place after a few weeks of use. Unfortunately not suitable for our use as it does not prevent water entering garage which is lower than the kerb.

Very good product
The product is both a good idea and on the whole very successful. For most garages this will keep leaves and water ingress out of the garage. Sadly for mine it was a partial success as we have significant flooding problems and as we have now discovered one side of the door is lower than the other, and we still get some water in but nowhere as bad as before. There were no problems sticking it to the floor as others have said. If you have a serious flooding problem you may need a higher lip but for most people this will be a great product and is not difficult to drive over.

LOOKS GOOD, BUT STICKS POORLY
The product is strong & durable, but the supplied adhesive does not seem fit for purpose. The fixing instructions were strictly adhered too but after a couple of weeks water seeped through & the seal lifted. It has been re-affixed using a different adhesive sourced separately from another supplier & the problem has now been solved.

Survived storm Arwen!
We used to get quite bad water ingress under our garage door, particularly on one side where the floor was uneven. This has done the trick, not a drop gets past now, despite our drive being downhill and the uneven floor. I waited until after storm Arwen to give my final opinion, even though that would have been a pretty tough test, and the garage is bone dry! Thanks so much! Glad we got it done!

Real Defender!!
Have installed the product. Had to cut it little bit to adjust the length. Its expensive however good quality. So far it has managed to bridge the gap underneath the garage door and keep dust and fallen leaves from getting inside the garage.
