Default Sealing/insulating a garage door

Hello all,
I have a two-bay garage door that has a pesky problem: every time it rains
water gets collected inside the panels and then drips on you and stuff
inside the garage when you open the door. It looks like there is usually
enough water collected for two to three days of those unwanted showers. It
does not even have to rain hard.
The door itself is just sheet metal panels (plus the spring load hardware
and cables of course). It's hard to see how water is able to stay in
there. But I am wondering if there is a way to prevent it from getting in
there in the first place. Is there something I can seal without
obstructing the movement of the door?

Also, it's getting colder now and sheet metal does not look like a good
thermal shield. Are there thermal insulation products out there that can
be installed on an existing door?

Thanks!
