        "text": "Signs that your sliding door weatherstripping needs replacement include noticeable drafts, higher energy bills, visible gaps around the door when closed, or physical degradation of the material itself. You might also find dust or moisture seeping in. A simple test involves closing the door on a piece of paper; if the paper slides out easily, the seal is compromised. Inspect the existing weatherstripping for cracks, tears, flattening, or brittleness. In the Bay Area, fluctuating temperatures and coastal moisture can accelerate wear.",
