Default how do you weatherstrip a warped door?

I bought some weatherstripping to try to insulate around the edges of
my back door to keep the cold air from coming through the seal and

won't seal. If I build up the weatherstripping to meet it then it bows
out the bottom. Is there any other way to achieve a tight seal on a
warped door??


Whatever you do, please don't consider replacing the door.


If your car gets a oil leak do you replace the engine?


If my car is so twisted that one tire won't reach the pavement, I
replace the car.


That wasn't the question.


First, you would have to be able to formulate a reasonably intelligent
question. I don't foresee that happening anytime soon.


Apparentally it's too intelligent for you since you can't answer it.

The OP's door
didn't have an oil leak. It's badly twisted.


Nobody said it had an oil leak, but it does have a air leak.

And how do you know it's "badly twisted"? He said it was warped.
