Separate a worn insert from a bent support

Report whether the seal has come loose along its length or only near an impact mark. New rubber will not straighten a crushed retainer. If the bottom panel is distorted or the door has started binding, leave it unused and include that concern rather than requesting only a cosmetic strip replacement.

Keep floor work outside an assumed seal price

An uneven meeting point may require evaluation of the threshold or driveway. Miami Springs' Building Department is the local resource when the proposed work becomes a covered alteration. Identify the actual surface change before seeking its requirements; do not assume that a door-service appointment includes concrete or drainage work.

Describe the rain path before selecting material

Water underneath and wind-driven rain between sections are different observations. Explain where you first notice moisture from a safe indoor position. The estimate should describe the damaged seal being repaired and avoid promising complete waterproofing of the garage.

Your questions

Is the widest available seal automatically best?

No. Profile, mounting compatibility and appropriate compression matter more than size alone.

Could water come from above even if it ends on the floor?

Yes. A puddle's final location does not establish its entry point; describe what is visible before choosing the repair scope.
