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.
