Default HELP: weatherstripping - door jamb problem

My wooden entranceway door jambs have a kerf to accept the

Is there a simple fix? *A product?

Thanks a heap,

You probably have a commercially made prehung door, perhaps Andersen,
Pella or Thermatrue. It may be a PITA but, talking with a customer
service person at one or all of them might get you the info on where
or how to get weatherstripping that will fit. Alternatively, try a
local lumber yard that caters to contractors. That also may be the
source of the door and may even have repair pieces for the product or
could order them.
You did a Google search, no doubt?
