A seal assembly for an overhead-storing door seals the horizontal joints between adjacent panels of the door. The panels are pivotally interconnected at the joints to allow the door to open and close by traveling along a set of lateral tracks that curve between horizontal and vertical. The door closes in the vertical position, and stores horizontally overhead. The seal assembly can also be used for sealing the leading edge of the door panel that closes against the floor. The seal assembly includes a seal holder with a T-shaped anchor that engages a complimental T- shaped seal-receiving opening in a foam core of at least one of the door panels. The seal holder includes shaped grooves for attaching a flexible U-shaped seal member and, if desired, for inserting a reinforcing bar that increases the rigidity of the seal holder. In attaching the seal member to the seal holder, the T-shaped anchor slides in a first direction into the mating seal-receiving opening in the foam core. The sliding fit in a first direction provides a positive connection in another direction perpendicular to the first. This ensures that the seal holder is held firmly in place when in use, yet is readily installed or replaced.
