Name the part that has failed

Tell Ethan’s whether the loose material is on the moving door or the surrounding frame. A photograph from a safe distance and available door identification help narrow the request. There is no need to remove the old strip before its attachment has been assessed.

Check the retainer as well as the rubber

A replacement strip needs a suitable attachment. Ask whether the existing retainer is reusable or has damage that belongs in the estimate. Adding a large piece of rubber without understanding the mounting arrangement can leave the original problem unresolved.

Agree the result at your Palmetto Estates opening

The job should address the identified gap while allowing appropriate door movement. If the door itself is bent or stops short, ask for that finding to be explained separately. A seal is not a substitute for a mechanical repair.

Your questions

Do all bottom strips slide into the same channel?

No. Identify the existing retainer and matching replacement before ordering.

Should I discard the old seal before the visit?

Keep the existing arrangement intact when safe to do so; its shape and attachment help identify the replacement.
