Gap around garage door [View all]

I had a new garage door installed several months ago. I notice on extremely windy days, I can see daylight around the sides of the door when I step into the garage. Is this an installation problem and/or is there someway I can insulate the gaps?

Adjust the brackets that hold the door so the door is held tight against the door stop madokie Dec 2011 #4

Garage doors are designed so that they push into the seals as they finally set down to the floor Kolesar Dec 2011 #6

Before you do that, consider contacting the installer. Gormy Cuss Dec 2011 #5
