:( I'm about to pull my hair out over the weather stripping around my front door. The factory installed gasket either needs to be replaced or augmented with another layer of stripping, but I can't seem to find anything at Lowes or Home Depot that does the trick. Plastic, foam, and rubber stripping all deteriorate in a matter of days in that they will not stay attached, stick to the door rather than the frame, yadda yadda. Settling has caused a touch of a widening of the door and air easily comes through. Any ideas (that also look good, since I will be selling soon). Thanks
