ABSTRACT:
A weather seal disclosed is particularly effective in providing a seal for uneven gaps of substantial width and length such as are found along the bottom of a garage door. The weather seal is a unitary extruded strip including a base section (21) mounted on the door, a resilient arm section (22) extending away from the base section and an end section (23) extending from the arm section opposite and in spaced relation to the base section. A lip section (24) extends away and down from the rear of the base section (21). In use, the arm section 22 flexes to resiliently urge the end section against a surface (14) so as to provide a substantially constant loading throughout the full extent of the door. For metal doors (31) a retainer (32) fastens to the door which in turn receives a portion of the seal and holds it in position for operation on the metal door.
