Water coming in under garage door

[davidfite1978]

So it rained really hard for the first time since I got my garage door put back together, and new rubber channel installed. Of course, rain came in. Looks like the slope of the concrete (the whole garage) is just enough the WRONG direction that water pools on the outside and seeps in under the door.

My two options that I can think of are put some foam or old water hose into the rubber channel to stiffen it up and maybe seal a little better, or install one of those rubber channels that glue down to the floor and provides a lip for water to stay out.

What do you guys think, or what have you done in similar cases? I'm thinking I probably need to prime or paint the sill plate and studs all around that opening too for when the water seeps around?

I'm thinking a metal drainage channel there so water can be diverted to the side of the driveway.

I have they same problem so I need help with this too!

This problem is on my detached garage (shop). There's no driveway. I have 12 inches of gravel in front of the door and it's about 2-3 inches below the top of the concrete. So I'm assuming it's just the rain that lands on that actual spot, nothing flowing from anywhere else.

I found it was rain that was blowing on the door, running down the door then under it at the floor.

I put in a raised rubber threshold and that solved the problem for me.

That's what I was trying to say I had. Not installed, but I bought one a while back. Would it be possible to get a picture of how yours is installed? The one I have has 2 distinct sides, so there's lots of options of where exactly to line it up and what slope to point outside and what to point inside. I installed one in my old garage at my previous house and did it backwards (did it according to instructions, but it was just an awful design).
