My garage door doesn't seem to have the plate that you see in new doors these days where you can slide the rubber seal. Mine is hard glued at the bottom and side of the door. Does anyone know a way to removing this glued seal and installing a new plate that allows me to slide the seal instead? I don't want to glue a new one on.

You could probably build a simpler version pretty cheap.
Also if the doors are large enough, and you are ambitious enough you could put a smaller "man" door in one of the doors. That way when you go in and out you don't have to open the large doors, but you still have the large doors for getting large projects/lawn tractor in and out.
One of the custom door manufacturers should be able to make you something. Yes, it's not a typical application being that small, but there's no major issues in the design. Doors are assembled from panels, so they can select the right size and quantity. Track frequently has to be cut down to fit anyways. Custom springs are no big deal (a surprising percentage of what's out there is custom).
However, you're not going to be able to walk into a local big box hardware place and pickup off the shelf components to DIY.

Best Answer
Overhead door seal channels are available as well as the rubber seals. Kits would probably come with sheet metal screws for mounting. You'd just need to pull the old seal off or cut it away so that it gets covered.
