OK,, will do.

Want a $2.00 tip: Go to any hardware store or such where they sell that strip of rubber that goes under a garage door. It is about 3 inches wide and about 10-15 feet long. I cut a strip of this just as long as my sliding door and used some double-sided tape to connect it to the top of the DOOR. Not Frame. I did this mostly to keep it from rattling, but it keeps about 90% of the heavy rain out. Only when flying down the road ina rainstorm does any get in now. Used to be able to raise frogs in there! But I am planning to fix it right soon.
