Power Wash Garage Door?

[Rustito]

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 disloged and some water had settled between the snap ins and the glass (on the outside). I removed the snap ins and tried to dry the bottom of the panes but a bit of water remains. I snapped the inserts back in and they seem OK except a bit of water at the bottom - hope this will dry out??

Otherwise the door seems OK and is working fine. Could there be some damage to the seams between the panels that might cause rain to enter or was this just because of the force of the washer??

Looking to be reassured I am probabally OK and can stop kicking myself for not telling the guy not to do the door!! My door is metal (not wood) and insulated - think top of the line Amorr with band liftmaster.

Thanks

Is the door wood or aluminum? I pressure wash my aluminum door frequently and all kinds of water gets through. It dries out with no drama though. Could use some lube in the hinges is all.

Should be fine, there is a lot of difference between falling rain and a direct hiting 4,000 psi washer as far as getting behind glass and through seams in the door. Everything should dry out just fine. If it was winter I would blow out any water remaining around the glass to keep it from freezing but that should not be a problem now.

You should be fine!! Wouldn't hurt to give your rollers and hinges a shot of lube.

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.
