I have a roll up style door and I can't find suitable replacement for the bottom weatherstrip/sweep. It's a "U" style, but the trouble is that all of the replacements I've looked at are too thick to fit in the track (I've tried). The problem is the thickness; mine is .05 inches thick, but the thinnest replacement I've found is 1/16 (0.0625) and these do not fit the extrusion at all, and the extrusion doesn't appear to be easily replaceable.

Any suggestions? Below are the dimensions of the existing weatherstrip "T" section.

Have you actually tried/measured the 1/16"? A lot of stuff runs smaller than the nominal size, it might be correct.

Might be an interference fit as well.

Some pics would help

The 1/16 doesn't fit, and no amount of soap/oil/grease is going to allow it to slide 10' across in the track...
