Identify which seal has deteriorated

A split bottom insert, loose side trim and a damaged top edge are separate locations. Explain where daylight or debris enters while the door is stationary. The replacement material must fit its mounting arrangement and allow the door to travel without being forced.

Check the condition behind the seal

A deformed retaining channel or damaged lower panel can prevent a new insert from seating as intended. Ask whether the estimate includes those parts or only the flexible material. A cheap-looking rubber repair can become incomplete if its supporting component is ignored.

Keep threshold alterations a separate decision

For water under the door, floor shape and exterior runoff may remain relevant after seal replacement. If work at your Hialeah entrance includes modifying the slab or opening, verify the appropriate City project requirements. The proposed door service should not imply that it provides drainage design or flood protection.

Your questions

Should I lower the opener limit to eliminate daylight?

Do not use an adjustment to conceal an unexplained gap. The cause should be assessed without forcing the assembly harder against the floor.

Will the garage become watertight with new seals?

No. Sectional doors have limits against driven rain and standing water; explain the actual water problem before selecting the repair.
