I just had a 8500 installed on a 18' wide garage door. The problem is, there is a gap in the middle and its letting bugs and air in. Can anything be done to fix this. All seals seam to be installed. I think it is because I don't have the center type opener that would normally push against the middle to help seal it.

Something is outa wack! Either the headers bowed or the top section has sagged! Pull a string to find the culprit. Either way if it's not to great a gap, those stops can be adjusted inward.

Remove the nails from the top seal and nail it so it's in the right spot against the door. They're flexible and will accommodate the bowing.
