@buildtomade: If you’re dealing with drafts, rain, or melted snow sneaking into your garage, I might have just the solution: thermoplastic garage door weather stripping. It’s a bit tricky to find but is usually located near the end cap aisles in stores (it's more expensive online than in stores - check my link in bio). It comes in a variety of colors and lengths, typically 9 ft and 7 ft pieces. I spent $75 to cover both of my garage bays. To install, I also picked up 1⅝” brown ring-shanked panel nails to match my trim. These nails grip better than smooth ones, and I pre-nailed every foot to speed up installation. Starting at the top of the garage door, I worked my way down the sides, overlapping the strips slightly. I recommend securing the top, middle, and bottom first to keep the strip aligned before nailing the rest. You might need to adjust things a bit as you go. Finally, I sealed the edge between the strip and door jamb with exterior caulk, wiping off any excess with a damp cloth. This project made a big difference, and I hope it helps anyone looking to keep their garage better protected. Cheers!
