Re: Retro Fit Weatherstrip.
I just re-did one of my doors. The threshold was rotted so I had to remove the door and jambs anyway. Routered a groove at bottom of door, fit high quality weatherstripping in. Had the jambs shaved down slightly and routered out. Then used a high quality silicone weather strip that fit into the routered groove. So far so good except after a nasty Thanksgiving storm the bottom leaked slightly but that is probably because I haven't re-installed my storm door yet. I will get the name of the silicone weather strip and repost. Hope this helps some.
