ABSTRACT:
The invention is a replaceable weather seal suitable for attaching to a frame with screws, which is comprised of two parts. The first part is a carrier, a portion of the entire length of which is substantially flat and has apertures suitable for screws to pass through spaced along its length. The other portion of the entire length of the carrier is "U"-shaped and has a U-shaped opening that runs along the outside of the entire length of the carrier. The second part is a weather sealing member, a portion of which, along its entire length is substantially flat. The weather sealing member is comprised of a foam interior which is covered by a water and tear resistant material; and a substantially non-deformable insert which is situated inside the water and tear resistant material at the bottom of the substantially flat portion of the entire length of the weather sealing member. The substantially flat portion of the weather sealing member holdingly fits within the "U"-shaped portion of the carrier, and may be inserted into the carrier through the "U"-shaped opening. Should the weather sealing member ever become worn, all that must be done to replace it, is to pull it out of the carrier and insert a new weather sealing member into the carrier, while the carrier remains on the door frame.
