weather stripping
I need to replace the weather stripping on my front door due to drafts esp. since I can see some sunlight sneaking in at deadbolt height. I bought some vinyl weather stripping that has a hard flange that tucks into the door frame. The current weather stripping actually has a larger flange (with three "ribs") whereas the replacement only has one. I will need to know if that is an issue.
The second part of my question is that there seems to be staples going though the door frame holding the old weather stripping in place. What should I do about that? Do I just rip out the old shit and use a saw-saw or something to cut the staples? Do the staples do anything more than hold the weather stripping in place?
Thanks for your assistance-
