Locate the two sensors, usually mounted near the bottom of the garage door tracks. Ensure they are clean and free of debris. The sensors should be directly facing each other, with no obstructions in between. Some sensors have indicator lights that show their alignment status. If they're misaligned, gently adjust them until the lights indicate a solid connection.

First, the old, worn-out seal is removed from the bottom of the garage door. The track is cleaned to ensure a good surface for the new seal. The new seal, often a vinyl or rubber strip, is then inserted into the track. It's important to ensure the new seal fits snugly and creates a tight barrier against the floor. This helps keep out moisture and pests.
