My parents have large double swinging "carriage house" doors on their bedroom.
They were un-hung and refinished a few years ago by Dad, new weather stripping. It's leaking now; the water is coming down the face of the door, pooling, then coming through the seal and wicking into the flooring and up the door as pictured. We have three days of dry weather I can open them up and do some temporary sealing until summer when we can un-hang them again, touch up the finish and replace the weatherstripping/gasket, etc. (the silver in the pic is some added insulation for winter - it's behind a roll-top desk and curtains so hidden).
What would you do?
I was thinking just lay a bead of something like DAP 230, which would make a seal and then be easy to break in the spring and clean up. I don't know if that's the best idea so thought I'd seek some options and advice.
Doors in question, requisite automotive content included:
