that's what I've used or menards version,the only thing I didn't like was over the years the plastic(not the seal)would warp,otherwise worked well and took paint well.

The key to those is lots of nails! I've seen them do some strange things here in AZ.  ???

I have a similar product that used a heavier flexible rubber/vinyl ?? material. I installed it decades ago and it has been okay. It tends to rub the paint along the sides but that is mostly covered. Nothing at the door top, but that fits reasonably well.

Perimeter weather seal is what your looking for... And if you want the good stuff go to your local garage door dealer and they should be able to help you... They should also tell you how to install it correctly, a lot of people put it on way to tight to door face
