When it rains, the rain comes in through underneath my garage door. Time to fix that! :-) I cut off the bottom of the garage door. I installed the weatherstripping. I cut the rubber threshold to size. In theory, it's all good, but... The sidewalk cement outside the garage is higher than...

Hello - Over the past week or so I noticed that my automatic garage door is stopping at various heights while going up. This is not consistent - it does not happen every time I open it, nor does it happen at the same height. I increased the up force slightly (It's currently about 50% or 60% of...
