Am I missing a seal?

[NicandJay]

Seeking an answer please to the above question.
On the garage doors of my MY2021 Burstner Harmony Line td680g I have just a soft rubber compression seal (seen on the LH edge of door below) that does not prevent the formation of plenty of condensation around the inside door frame. Does the forum think I am missing a seal that would fit in the large recessed grove in the centre of the attached picture which runs all round both doors? This would create a double barrier.
If not missing one and I wanted to fit one where would I go for one?
Away in France and Spain now so cant pop to my dealer until February
TIA

Looks like a standard locker door seal to me,nothing missing,you would have to have a thermal break in the frame itself to stop the condensation as the cold is transmitted through it,so fitting another seal would make no difference.

No you're not missing a seal/infill, the channel is partly there so that if water gets past the outer seal it will run down and away rather than get into the locker. As already mentioned the frames always conduct the cold so you'll get condensation regardless of the seal. If you have heating in your garage this will make the problem worse therefore you could block-up/turn off the outlet in there.

Thanks for the info. Yes I had read that blocking off the heater outlets will help. Have dried all moisture up and gorilla taped over the vents. If that doesn't stop the heat getting into the space I might put some packing behind the tape and in front of the plastic vent flap thingy.

I fitted big pipe insulation into the gaps at the side of / below the single beds

Unfortunately mine is mainly being caused by the two heating vents below the wardrobe which sits above my garage which are now hopefully sealed off so fingers crossed I've reduced the temp in the garage quite a bit now.Thanks though for your reply
