Thanks for the responses - I am no longer concerned. My door is aluminum. Lube is a good idea. Next time I think I'll pass on the power wash - esp. since it didn't really need it like my siding did.

OK - Had my house siding power washed today and the guy power washed my 2 yr. old garage door. Water leaked down from the door slits when I opened the door and landed on my car - just some drops. I then noticed that the snap in panes for the windows at the top of the door had been partially...

The door is entirely dry - rain not hard and no wind so I will use a hose. But I can see an issue with the way the Amarr window designs are done. There are solid windows and then plastic snap in pieces that hold the different designs, e.g., to make one long window into 2. These snap in pieces do...

Hi All - Finally rain and I'm about to check things out, however, I won't want to open the door until it is dry or else the drips could be what is on the door (if it got wet). A couple of updates and thoughts on comments from people (I was away so I didn't just drop out)!! First, My overhang is...

Hey Jeff - Appreciate your post on garage door and dripping. We finally have rain and I am going out to determine exactly where it is dripping from. I am worried it is the window - have been reading that Armarr windows are not caulked and can cause problems. I really am enjoying this forum!!

I see that windows on Armarr doors are indeed covered. Still no rain here so I can't test out yet. But good to know they are covered.

I just joined because I completed my new garage and am having a leaking problem at windows or slats on the new Amarr door I had installed last week. So I have been up on and off at least 5 times a day because the response to my questions has been super helpful. I am also digging the Garage Dog...

Reading the Amarr garage door warranty does not appear to cover garage door windows or water problems. Since this is my first experience with garage doors I am not sure whether this is the norm or whether typically people don't have problems with water or windows (except water under the door)...

The day after the rain when I opened the door and drops fell onto the car I looked up at the inverted door and there was water dripping. I remember seeing it coming from one of the windows but I didn't inspect it carefully. Then I became more concerned when my builder said that never happens...

John - If the windows are leaking should I ask the installer replace the panel or caulk the existing windows? I am not sure what my next step should be. One other thing - I noticed that the seams between the panels are flat even for the bottom two but the top one is very slightly off, i.e., not...

John - Your post was really helpful and obviously you know quite a bit and this is exactly the type of insight I was wanting. Caulking is acceptable - sorry if I was not clear on my previous post. If that fixes the problem that is great news!! Upon closer inspection when taking the pictures...

Here is an outside and an inside pic of the garage door windows. It was hard to get close-ups esp. inside since sun was shining in. Sorry abt reflections!

John - I will take pics of the windows tomorrow during the daylight. Obviously you won't see any water bacause the rain was a few days ago - so I assume you can assertain what to do just by seeing pics of the windows not dripping. Is it possible that the windows are the problem and water is...

Hi Everyone - I am new here and from Maryland. Just had a new garage build onto my home and finally last step was putting in a new top of the line Amarr door just last week. However just had a rain and later that day opened the door and drops of water fell onto my car!! Seemed to be coming from...

Thanks Larry - My builder said his garage door never drips which is why I wondered if this were normal. Still have concern that water seemed to be coming from the top window when the door was up. I think it might be seeping under the snap-in framing for the window and this is holding in water. I...

Just had a single car garage built onto my home and had a new metal high-end Amarr door and belt Liftmaster opener installed by a garage door company. The door has long panels and 2 top windows with snap-in plastic insert called Arched Thames for a arched shaped pane look. Not much of an...
