Which weather stripping for Out swing French doors

Question

Which weather stripping do you suggest for out swing French doors? The current weather stripping is vinyl covered foam installed into a kerf, but it doesn't seem to be large enough. The gap between the door and jamb is about 1/2". Light shows around the weather stripping in some cases and the doors leak in heavy rain.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

I think what makes sense is to identify what weatherstripping you currently have, then to choose some bigger options from our selection. Can you send a photo of your old weatherstripping and measure the dimensions, such as the diameter of the foam and the length of the kerf? Once we pin down what the old weatherstrip is, we will throw out some suggestions for bigger ones.
