I have a 30x40 shop/garage with three overhead doors. One door is standard height and the other two are close to 13ft tall or so. The doors are wooden at the bottom and originally had the kind of seal that you nail/staple on, but they are pretty beat up and needed replaced. similar to this seal:

So, I replaced all of the seals with the type of seal where you screw the metal channel to the bottom of the door and then the seal slides into the channel similar to this:

The concrete isnt perfectly level, so with the new seal I am still getting some water leaking in under the doors in a good rain. I feel like maybe the new seal I installed isnt sealing correctly due to there not being any slope for the water to run off of. I have tried using backer rod inside of the new seal with no luck etc...
Should I install new seals that were the same as the ones originally on the door?
