Either side of a Frenchwood inswing padio door by Anderson (2001) are these two full height glass panels and last year the weather stripping at the bottom had pulled away from the glass and we didn't know about it until the water had run down and stained the ceilings on the two floors below. I pealed the weather stripping and filled maybe a 2/16" gap that had formed as the wood too had moved away from the glass. I probably shouldn't have used caulking, but it was fine for a year or so and it too pulled away. I've got a temp shield over it until I can put a lamp on it to dry it out good and picked up some DAP 33 window glazing. Otherwise I'm sure it's a big number to get a replacement installed.

If water from that travelled down two floors, you have a leaking pan below the door too. I would at least get a price for replacing the door panel that is leaking.... but you still need to find out how the water got past the sill and inside the house after it exited the door panel.

This Bob
If the glazing is the problem, the water getting by the threshold is a bigger one IMO
I suspect it has something to do with threshold sitting right on the deck ...
I’m a lot of help, hey? |

When the original glazing or weatherstripping separated from the window enough to let water in it apparently began to swell the wood behind the outer sandwich and it eventually go to a point we noticed on heavy NE rain storms with wind, we were getting water inside on the floor and then stains on two ceilings below. I'm inclined to glaze after drying it out well and hope we get some time, as we are considering downsizing in the next couple years and selling.

Well, if that is the course you want to take, you might as well take it off the hinges and drill holes from the bottom. This will allow gravity to be working with you, similar to getting water out of a Whaler hull full of foam. I will try to price a replacement panel if I remember when I am at lumber yard.

It's on the full height 25" glass panel on one side (one each side) of the inswing door (without issues), so nothing to remove and that job would be above my skill set.
