My garage door is downhill of a slope and water is leaking in at the bottom

Do you know if this is a common problem and what the normal remedy might
be?

Your problem is grading, not gaskets. The terraine should slope away
from the structure. As long as the elevation decreases as it
approaches the garage, water will find a way in, and the band aides
you are looking at will not work.
