looking for an online source for garage door bottom seals, nobody local stocks them. Any preference as to what style? On both of the doors, the concrete is lightly concave at the center of the door. Thanks.

Yep, they can be found online. And a good thing is that many suppliers have detailed dimensions.

I had the reverse problem to yours -- my floor was convex (outsides of the 2 bay garage were a little lower than the center). I put a double layer of the door bottom gasket on the outer six ft or so of each side while retaining single layer in the middle. The door seals across perfectly. Put the full length piece on last with the additional piece (for you, in the middle) sandwiched between the full length gasket and the door.

I need a bottom seal for an old roll up insulated shed door. / garage door. 7'×9'
Insulated, double wall. Purchased at Menards about 20 to 25 years ago. I do not Remember what brand. Maybe Wayne Dalton. It is very unusual that we do not have all paperwork.
Any guesses on what Menards would have sold back then?

I have 2) 9' insulated Clopay doors where the bottom seals got very stiff.
About 2 years ago while at HD it struck me to buy universal bottom seals and they sat for about a year before getting around to replacing them.

They would not slide in properly and if I got then in, they would not stay in the grooves and pop out.
The profile on the bead was not correct for the door.
I ordered the seals again from Clopay and it was a breeze to install.
So I paid twice for a simple project.
It's worth paying a little more and getting a good fitting item

Very good advice up thread about getting the right seal. You can find seals most anyplace but almost every garage door I have has a different bottom seal. Take measurements and start searching. It's out there somewhere!

If you get the correct seal installation is very quick and easy plus it will stay in place much better than any glue on universal type seal.
