Keep observations tied to the opening

Explain which side has daylight or torn material and whether the issue changed after floor or driveway work. Different openings on the same house may need different profiles. A seal that fits the neighboring bay is not proof that the retainer and floor conditions match here.

Separate a seal replacement from property alterations

If the assessment identifies a slab, framing or complete-door project, establish the parcel’s jurisdiction before using Boca Raton’s permit guidance. The City’s process and the County’s process should not be selected from a postal label alone. Have any broader work described separately from the weatherstripping quote.

Your questions

Can new seals make the garage a storm-water barrier?

No. Discuss the observed gaps and expected improvement without treating a sectional door as flood protection or overlooking water approaching from outside.

Should I keep using a door whose seal is caught in the track?

Avoid further operation until the obstruction and any resulting damage are assessed. Do not reach into moving tracks or increase operator force.
