Why is weather seals different in Coastal San Diego?
Coastal seals fail on a 4 to 6 year cycle, UV and salt air dry the rubber faster than inland. Daylight-visible gaps at the bottom let ocean humidity into the garage, which then corrodes everything inside it. Seal replacement is cheap preventive hardware here.

Tierrasanta is master-planned older housing surrounded by Mission Trails Regional Park, with first-cycle replacements universal across the community and wildfire-perimeter considerations.. Coastal seals fail on a 4 to 6 year cycle, UV and salt air dry the rubber faster than inland.
How often do garage door seals need replacement?
Bottom U-seal: every 5 to 8 years in San Diego's UV and coastal-salt conditions. Perimeter seals: 8 to 12 years. If you're seeing daylight at the edges when the door is closed or water puddles inside after a storm, the seal is done regardless of age.
Can I replace the bottom seal myself?
On most doors, yes, the U-seal slides into a track on the bottom panel and it's a 20-minute job. Where it goes sideways: an old corroded aluminum retainer that needs to come off and be replaced (that needs the door tension neutralized), or a custom profile that isn't a standard U. If you're not sure which you have, a pro can handle either.
