[QUOTE="ndbwhunter, post: 250330, member: 1288"] After a few 70-110 mph gusts, my 18ft midland garage door has started to bow. The door is only 2 years old and came with 3 t-struts installed from the factory. The 110mph gust from this past summer pushed the door in enough to make some small dimples on the exterior side. The more recent 70mph gust seems like it finally finished the job, as the lower sections of the door appear to be bowed enough to prevent the bottom seal from making contact with the floor. From the original position, I'd guess that the door is bowed in around 4-6". I really don't want to replace the panels, but is there anything else that can be done? I can probably only add one more strut to the door before I need to consider replacing the springs due to the increased weight. Any other thoughts? Can the doors be bent back toward the exterior before placing another strut on? [/QUOTE]
