Bottom of Garage Door Seal
#1

Hi all,

Yea, not a newell thing but at least part of the newell house.   

my big garage doors let in a little water when it pours rain in a few spots.  

i tortured myself with all kinds of exotic solutions.....expensive/thicker seals, putting something on the floor, etc.  

but....this is what i did for 4 bucks a door.  it is supposed to rain alot early next week, so i will see if it works.  

i used 5/8" round foam backer rod that i got at home depot in 25' lengths for 4 bucks.  i used a wire to push through the seal on the bottom of the garage door, taped the foam rod to it and pulled it through.  there was 5 feet on each side left so i just pushed it back in and doubled it there.  

seems like that should create a better seal on the bottom of the door.  

well at least it was a cheap try if not.

tom
