I am pretty sure the door is leaking somewhere around the jointing strip as after it rains I get rust water running out of the bottom.
I undid the bottom plate and the wood is wet through and rotten on both corners.
My question is, does the jointing strip need to have silicon on it for it to seal?
Anyone else ever stripped one of these doors down and what is the contents.......from what I could see it looks like a wood frame with Polystyrene infill inside an aluminium skin with angle beading.
Would it be good to cut the wood off where it is good and replace with new without having to get a joiner to dovetail it?
Could do with a new rubber seal too.
Can the door be saved and are they a standard size if it has to be replaced?
Boo
