In one embodiment, the steel member is equipped with a seal, preferably made from durable rubber that is not prone to cracking or shrinking, positioned at a 45-degree angle extending towards a garage door perimeter to effectively block moisture, debris, and air from entering the garage. In a different embodiment, a portion of the seal is positioned between the steel member and retainer plate. The device is customizable in color, fit, and finish, allowing it to match various aesthetic preferences.
