The seal on my door side basement door (it is a slam lock type) keeps coming down at the top. I faithfully keep pushing it back up when I notice it. It stays up for a while but then comes down.
So what is the right "glue" to use to keep it in place? I do understand it seems to fit exactly and I know that does exert a certain amount of force to stay in place....but it is not enough in my case.
Previously this was not much of a problem but now every time it rains I end up with this puddle of water in my basement. I have not 100% figured out where it is coming in but we are stationary for a month and every time after a rain.....there is water in the basement.....just sitting in the middle with not much of a trail as to where it is coming from. I recently walked the roof and there are no leaks up there....and just recaulked every seam and opening.
Checked the plumbing and water lines....no problems.
This last time I did notice water I also noticed this gasket had fallen down again.....so I want to get it stuck back up permanently to see if this is the source.
Thanks,
