Well I got home early and finished it up. The seal is night and day different and I was able to move the track easily. My only mistake was that I have an 18 foot door and was short about a foot across the top. Summit only sold a kit for a 16 foot door. I guess I will need to buy another track later.
Anyways here are a few pictures on how the brushes pressed against the sides of the garage door.

Here you can see the weatherstripping.
@Motofixxer How has this weatherstrip seal held up on the sides of your garage door? Has it remained a good air blocker all this time?
I am looing for a solution and this seems a lot cheaper and just as good if not better than brush seals.
Thanks!

Go to greenhingesystem.com and check these out, these are what I put on my doors 5 or 6 years ago and that takes care of that problem. They really work and are made in the USA, pricey but worth every penny especially if you heat your garage.

Here you go!

These are shots of the track mount and rollers, as I can tell they are not adjustable, except for side to side track adjustment, which doesn't help me with an in/out adjustment. The brackets are riveted to the track.

In the 2nd photo you can see all the light coming through, I'm surprised it showed up...with the garage lights and cell phone flash turned on.

Hopefully these will make more sense to you, than they do for me. :)
DONT call that installer back. See that long slot in those L-brackets? That's where the carriage bolts attaching the tracks to the wall mounts are SUPPOSED to go and which would give you the adjustment range you seek.
