I've struggled with this problem for years. It is a segmented plywood
wood or laminated wood garage door that's raised vertically by a
torsion spring. The paint at the bottom of segments (particularly the
next to the bottom one) cracks. The cracks are roughly vertical.
I've repaired this 2-3 times in the past, but it keeps coming back.

Here are the best pictures I've been able to make to illustrate this
problem, but they don't make it clear.

Would an edge trim help at all:

Not that specifically, but you've given me an idea for how I might
seal the plywood to prevent water entering. Maybe I can cover the
upper edge with some kind of thin plastic.
