No, first time garage woodworking workshop owner At our old house the door was one solid piece that swung up so the only drips possible were at the edges which isn't a big deal and only having a car in there I couldn't care less. This door is in sections so the drips come through those gaps and get much further into the garage and all over my tools. Just wondering if there was a way to prevent it. The only practical way I can think of would be to build some sort of drip tray below the rails. I suppose one could be fabricated from sheet metal. It would have to be low enoug to clear any operating mechanism of course. Harry K I see it! U-shaped with a lip for the screws to attach it. Inside of U facing the outside, which means they end up angled like little gutters when the door goes up. Or, think about actually using some ready-made gutter, available at any home store. |

I could probably attach little gutters to the guide rails as it's only an issue when the door is actually stopped in the open position. It's an epiphany! ---$20 word |

Garage Door Drips When Opening in the Rain
It's normal, but there is an easy fix. Attach a cheap tarp
to the inside of the door. When the door is open the tarp will catch any drips and empty itself when the door closes. Frank wrote in message oups.com... Is there anyway to stop my garage door from dripping inside the garage when I open it in the rain? Is this normal? |

No, the canopy goes over the driveway so the garage door never even gets wet. ;-) |

Frank Of just glue a strip of plastic over the section joints. Leave enough slack for it to flex as the door goes up and down. Rick |

In my garage it wouldn't work. The cover would have to cover the entire width of the door as it drips through each section crack...whoops, does it? I'll have to pay more attention the next time it is raining. I sure do get dripped on getting in and out of the car though. Harry K |
