Do I need to use glue to make sure holds tight against garage door?

The instructions say use double sided carpet tape, but we didn't. Our doors were old and the Reflectix fit very tight. So far very happy with the product. The summer will be the real test.

I used Scotch double-sided exterior tape. Placed it along the edge of each piece and it adhered to the door well. It has held up since I placed it last summer.

I don't think it's necessary. I cut out the first one to fit fairly precisely and used double-sided tape. After that, I wisened up and just cut the length. The height was long enough to tuck into the creases of the panel and kept it in place all by itself.

I bought some magnet strips and hot glued them to the existing strips. Makes the space between the magnet strips on the flaps and the door less. better chance to seal. I did it and they stay shut no problem. Good luck.

Depends on fabric. I put something underneath, remove when done, then hang so glue isn't touching anything.

The way this product is meant to work is by filling the gap between the frame and the garage door panels. Typically wooden garage doors don't have this gap so it likely won't work.

Not sure. I use it mainly for windows and doors, never need to glue it afterwards.

You do not need adhesive. There is a backing that peels off. It is important to view the installation video on their web site.

I did use moisture (just a little water) but I don't know if would be required. We have a pine cone wreath on it now (hanging indoors on our metal door that leads outside). It seems very secure.

I do not use any glue. Should not need it and it's easier to remove and clean when needed.

I would recommend construction adhesive rather than the silicone adhesive. It will set up faster, be stronger & move durable.

I didn't use glue, the screws hold just fine. I used the track to provide access to a reptile tank, which is accessed every day. I would use a two part adhesive if I were to use any.

The tape has a backing which protects the glue. You peel off the backing before you install. Works great!

You can secure it with some of the double sided tape that came with it, but it doesn't give you very much...I found it to be to flimsy to stay under my door...I really think the product is pretty worthless!!

I want to use this to cover some old sliding closet doors...do you think it will stay put?

Would say yes to this question, but make sure your glue lines are kept to a minimum and wait for it to completely dry.

If you are using the weather stripping that came with the door, it won't matter - it will fall off when you open and close the door a few times anyway. Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and get some decently sticky and a bit thicker foam insulation. Cut it to fit so that the insulation attached to the opposite side frame of the sliding door and rubs, but doesn't adhere to the stationary window. Good luck - we and our dog LOVE our door, but the insulation had to be replaced almost immediately after installation due to the lack of adhesiveness and the rubber grips the stationary window too much for it to stay on.

We're using this in a hot environment in the California desert, but we did not use any kind of glue. We just have it pinned down in the ground. If you're planning on gluing it on, you might have to find a strong glue or liquid nail to protect it from the sun/heat.
