Foam rubber for sealing gap around garage door.

    I have an electric roller door in my garage.

    It's tight as tuppence at the bottom and at the sides.
    However, at the top of the door, there's a gap of about an inco the whole way across between the door and the op of the opening.

    Now it's an insulated door, but that's a bit pointless with the gap there.

    What could I use to block that gap?
    I was thinking about a roll of foam rubber but one that won't rip with the door rubbbing off it when opening or closing, and that will also be weatherproof.

    Does anyone know where I could get a roll of something like that (approx 3m x 10cm x 3 cm) ?

    Any other suggestions ?

    You can get a brush seal which is designed for this problem. I can get you a price if you wish. Let me know. Hope this helps

    Thanks guys.

    Just to clarify, the gap is at the top of the opening, about an inch, the whole width of the door.

    There is a bodge job at the mo with a few of the brushes that you would normally have on the bottom of interior doors to stop a draught. But for where I need the seal, they're rubbish.

    My mum has an up and over door and that's sealed with heavy pliable rubber so something along that line or foam rubber I reckon would be perfect.
