I read a lot of reviews saying that they are disappointed as to how well this product holds up when using their garage doors. If you install it correctly on the right door(per the description, with channels in the door) it will work fine. I did insulated two doors with two of these kits in about 1.5 hours(without the final taping, which took more time than installing the insulation but worth it for both appearance and strength). Watch the install video and you will have no problems.
Road noise is gone and as my master bedroom is above my garage I have already heard my air conditioner running significantly less. I cannot wait to see what happens in the winter time.
A couple of tips for install:
1)When you cut the panels to size, per the video, leave at least an extra inch both horizontally and vertically for a snug fit. This is the case when insulating walls, I only say that because most people have never insulated walls before and it is important to help hold insulation in place until either you cover the insulation or attach backing to the studs.
2)Don’t worry about measuring the placement of the pins when sticking them to the door. Eye ball it in the middle of each half panel. Exact measurements are over kill.
3)When placing the pin on the door line them all so the gap in the pin is horizontal. For reason see tip #5.
4)After placing the insulation panel in before cutting horizontally per my previous tip, make sure to push the whole insulation panel upward. Gravity pushes things down so to keep the panel in if you push it slightly upward then cut horizontally on the back pin it will help keep the panel under the top channel better. This does help keep the panel in place when the doors are in operation.
5)Per the install video it says cut an “X” to push the pin through the insulation. I suggest after setting the pin per the above tip #3 cut a single small cut horizontally. This will make it easier to push the connecting pin on so the vinyl doesn’t get caught in the pin for a secure connection.
6)Finally, add 2 rolls of 3” wide white gorilla tape to your cart(3 if doing two doors, it takes about 1.5 rolls at 25yds per door). This will take a couple more hours of install time and cost about another $50 but it will make the project look cleaner and will add extra strength to the panel install. These will be on here for a lifetime now.
All in all, glad I bought this and my only complaint would be include larger latex gloves for install. I ripped those up putting them on, large hands are a blessing and a curse ;-)

At first I followed the instructions and attempted to cut a 1" piece off the long side of a panel but that didn't go well (it's difficult to cut that small a piece from the pliable fiberglass). So, because the size of my garage door panels was close to the size of the fiberglass panels I put the remaining ones in without cutting. The only places I needed to tape were on one side of one set of panels because there was no overlapping part of the door frame on that side. I've had no issues with panels falling out, but our garage door gets used only once or twice a week. Also, the extra weight hasn't caused any problems with the opener.
I would definitely buy this kit again if I had another door to insulate. Make sure that the door surface is clean before attaching the fasteners and don't bother trying to cut off a sliver of insulation.
I used these fiberglass pannels, as opposed to expanded polystyrene, as the R value is higher. The result, after installation, is quite impressive. As you can see on the pics, on an 87 degree day in SW Florida, the exterior of the door was reading 147.2F, while the interior was 96.8F. - 50 degrees lower. I also feel that the heat transfer from the whit plastic cover of the pannels is much lower than from the original darker color steel pannels. Not surprisingly, the garage is way cooler. The other big benefit of the new insulation is that the door is way quieter in operation. The original pannels acted like a drum skin when the door was going up or down. Now it is almost silent in operation!
Cost me $170+ for what is basically just regurar fiberglass insulatio, but the result is very impressive.

This solution from Owens-Corning may seem a bit pricy but is not when you factor in all the time and materials of other products. It installs as easy as it says, and just plain works.
I like others opted to use additional edge tape to insure no sag down the line. It was about forty minutes to install on the first door of two, after having the experience of one door behind me, the second took about 25 minutes.
Outside temp 78 F
Sunlight direct on garage doors temp 111 F
Inside garage 84F
Temp on inside garage door insulation panel 86 F
I highly recommend this as a solution to creating a thermal barrier on the garage doors
