My question is: Is there a sliding door made that has a slide up glass to expose the screen similar to how a storm door works? I'm sure that if I could find something like that it would fix my problems. The frame was designed for a sliding screen door and as such I cannot install a hinged storm door to shield it from the rain. The door itself is in pretty good condition so as you can see I have tried to seal it but the leak continues. My wood front door leaks through joints at times of heavy rain and leaves a small amount of water on the floor inside. Thank you What will stop the rain coming through my door ?

The "weather Stipping" (not sure if that is what you call it) came off. My dog knocked the screen door off (as you probably have heard thousands of times). ![]() I have been in my 30 year old home for 5 years. Where to find specific "weather stripping" Is there any way you can build out the door to meet the screen ? Perhaps by using wood strips and capping them with aluminum.

The best that I can measure the groove opening is a tight 1/4" x 1/4". the sweep was a total of 1 1/2" W x 78" long. The one that is worn out measures 5/16"W x 3/16" deep. The groove on my sliding screen door is too small for the strips that I can find locally. Where can I find one at least 84 inches long? Bug seal for sliding screen door.

My wife is happy we again have the ability to let the fresh air in and keep the fresh bugs out! I need a 3 inch wide bugstrip or bug seal, preferably self-adhesive. Fortunately I have a chop saw and was able to take a 1/4 inch off the frame. Just need to reorder the Bug Strip as I cut one too short! I also had to make one adjustment.
