ABSTRACT:
A garage door weather seal for use on a garage having a door with a planar outside surface and a door frame including a surface normal to the plane of the garage door when closed. The seal comprises a main body portion which lies in a plane extending at an angle to both the door and door frame surfaces when installed. Sealing lips integrally molded to opposite edges of the main body portion form a weather-tight seal with both the surface of the garage door and the surface of the door frame. An L-shape leg structure connected with the main body portion serves to position the weather seal with respect to the door frame. The leg structure has two legs which deflect slightly to grip two surfaces of the door frame, one the above-mentioned surface and another normal thereto. One of the legs may have apertures for fasteners to hold the seal in place.
