Door Sill Gap
This gap between door sill and body seems too large. Stones seem to get lodged in frequently.

Is there a piece missing or product I can get to seal this up?

Thanks!

There should be a foam strip to fill the gap. I used high density foam that will not absorb moisture or rot. Take off the sill, clean it all up, apply the foam and replace. Mine looks as good as the day it went on some three or four years ago.

I used foam that was wider than the gap so it compressed for a nice neat finish.
