Excellent Quality
This worked perfectly above a door, even though the package says "bottom of door". All screws included in new packaging.

Very good
i installed this rain guard at the bottom of our exterior in-swing door. I tested with a garden hose, and there was no more water trying to sweep through weatherstripping to the door threshold/gaps.

Perfect for what I needed.
This drip edge is exactly what I was looking for to stop the metal doors on my metal building from leaking at the bottom. I remember seeing something like this years ago and sort of filed it away in my memory. Years later I had a problem with leaking doors that were exposed to heavy rain and that's when I remembered seeing a drip edge at the bottom of a door many years ago. I set out looking for such a thing and found these. I had to cut mine down and you probably will too but it was easy even using just a hacksaw. When installing I sort of just held it at the bottom of my doors while opening them slowly to be sure it didn't rub against the sill. I then marked the center hole on my door, drilled the center hole just a tiny bit smaller than the recommended size and inserted the first screw. I used a small level to get the drip edge just right and then drilled each other hole and inserted the screw one at a time. Don't over tighten the screws or you'll need to get bigger ones. I'd also advise running a bead of caulk along the top edge and over each screw head for a long lasting solution.

Quality trim piece
Quality product that worked well for my application above a window. Came with screws. The total length measures 36.5 inches, so be able to trim to fit if you need 36" (as described) or a smaller length. Also, the cross-section diagram does not illustrate the piece that extends back from the curved portion, so observe the photo where this part is shown.

Simple product that does what it's supposed to.
I used this to stop rain water from seeping under the crack below my door, since my weather stripping leaked when heavy winds blew a lot of rain against the door. A drip cap works the way an umbrella does, intercepting water and directing it away from where you don't want it. In this case, it directs the water about an inch away from the bottom edge of the door, which is enough that little or any dripping on the ground will reverse course and head inside. As others have said, some caulk between the door and the drip cap is a good idea. Aluminum, cuts with a hacksaw.

A real solution
We regularly had rain coming in our garage service door due to it being in a rather unprotected area facing the typical prevailing weather pattern. We were reluctant to order this as home improvement projects just aren’t our thing but knew we had to do something. It was surprisingly easy to install and has completely resolved the issue. We painted it to match the door and don’t imagine anyone would even realize that it’s there.

Extremely well made, high quality and works.
Extremely well made, high quality and works. I did have to cut it for my 30" doors, but it was easy enough with my dremel tool. A regular hacksaw would work fine as well. I predrilled pilot holes with a cordless drill and used silicone caulk on the holes before putting the screws in and a bead across the top where the piece meets the door to ensure rain doesn't get behind it. I then tested by spraying my door with a hose for 10 minutes straight. No water got past it. I'm a happy camper!

Great protection for the bottom of our exterior doors.
Great protection for the bottom of our exterior doors that get a lot of splash up from rain here in Florida. Easy to cut with a hack saw or jig saw with a fine metal cutting blade. Used a bit of caulking to seal the screw holes and prevent water from seeping between the shield and the door.

Replacement
We recently renovated our rental property and needed to replace and couldn't find this in our home good stores but found it on Amazon and our contractor put it on for us and he said it was simple to do.

Sturdy Aluminum RV door drip deflector
Used this for an RV door that swings down. The water above from the awning would drip and coagulate on the inside of the door jam. When I'd open it, all that water would drop inside. This does the perfect job of deflecting the water.
