Water coming in through panels

[MissTinsley]

New Home - 06-2023
Garage door floor has been wet a few times, but I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Today, I saw water drips in between the panels. I did look up the door - it looks like the panels were installed correctly via the tongue and groove image.

Any assistance would help. I have the garage company who installed coming out tomorrow but I want to be prepared.

My house if North facing and we are in Kansas.

oops sorry I misread your question. I thought you said they were installed incorrectly but you said correctly.

Is the wind driving the water thought there, you think?

I'm really not sure, yesterday was 15-22 m0h winds throughout the day.

It looks like it was installed correctly to me, but I am no expert and don't really know much about garage doors.

If it's any consolation, our well-installed garage door would do the same thing about once a year, when the wind and rain would come up from the west and hammer the door, and we'd get water through the seams between the panels. All other rain storms, no matter how hard, no water. Only when the prevailing wind slammed up against the door.

So my slightly-educated guess is that its normal.

Location?

Temp and humidity differences between interior and exterior with an uninsulated door can cause condensation

Like Logan said it might be condensation. Have someone aim a hose at it from the outside and see if you can see any leakage ? I dont think they can make it 100% waterproof especially with hard wind blown rain.
