Dec 03, 2015 Is it just me or is there no garage door opener in my 2016 Trd off road???? Or am I just too dumb to figure it out because all the little signal things.

We have owned our house for about 5 years now and it's about 15 years old. It has an attached garage. Download Sims 2 Censor Patch Cheat Sheet.

Over the past couple years, we have noticed a section of the top of the garage door opening about 2 to 3 feet long that the rubber seal attaches to that is bowed down about an inch or two. It seems to have gotten worse recently so I looked closer at it and it appears that the wood is rotting away in that area. If you touch it, it just crumbles apart. It appears that there are a couple pieces of wood that are sandwiched together and the wood that is damaged the most is the one on the inside of the wall. I'm hoping that I can just take a circular saw and cut out that damaged section of wood and then cut some appropriate sized pieces and nail them into place?

Is that possible, or do I need to replace that whole section of wood. It looks like it's about 15 feet long and has some diagonal pieces in each corner. I'll snap some pics to add when I get home, but I'm hoping that just replacing the damaged section will work?

Ok, here are some pictures of the damaged area. I've numbered each picture and will provide a description of each below: 1. Picture of garage and location of damaged wood 2. Seam in metal flashing with discoloration 3. Metal flashing pushed up to show damaged wood behind it 4. Inside garage showing damaged wood (note cut in wood) 5.

Same view as 4, but with door closed. You can see the cut in the wood better. The right piece is about 4' long and the left piece is 14' long. If I push on the left piece, it moves freely. Also note how much lower it is than the right piece. This is showing where the right piece connects.

Here's a wide shot of the inside of the garage with the door closed. The damaged area is highlighted. Attached Images.

My guess is that the aluminum capping of the trim has trapped water inside the aluminum, and rotted the trim around the opening. I doubt the header has been significantly compromised, although it probably has some surface rot due to being in contact with wet wood (the jamb). Removing the aluminum capping would be your first step. Once you do that, then you will be able to see clearly how much of the jamb is rotten and whether or not you can replace a piece of it or if the entire jamb needs to be replaced. The jamb is the wood that makes up the garage door opening, that the aluminum cladding covers. The header is the part of the framing that is the structural beam OVER the entire garage door opening.

The header forms the top of the rough opening. There could be some space (shims) between the jamb and the header which may have kept it from getting too wet. On the other hand, if the brickmould (exterior face trim that is nailed to the front of the jamb behind the aluminum cladding) is rotten, it could be that some of the sheathing and header also got wet, especially on the exterior half of the header.

Light rot is no big deal, but if it is extensive, it compromises the strength of the header. Once you remove the cladding and remove some of the rotten jamb and brickmould, you can always post some more pictures if you would like further advice. Well, this weekend and friend and I ripped apart the garage molding and found that there is a 2x6 that went the length of the bottom of the opening that the flashing was nailed to that was completely rotted about a quarter of the length.

We pulled that mess off and saw that the header had house wrap around it, but even with that, there was some of it that had some rot and ants in it as well. The header was comprised of three 2x10's nailed together and the rot only went in a max of 2 inches so we just replaced the 2X6 on the bottom and sprayed some spray foam between it and the header to fill the gaps where the header had rotted. Nailed up the flashing and it looks good as new. We also discovered the cause of the entire problem which was a 1/8' gap in the J-channel above the spot where it was rotted. We replaced the entire J-channel and overlapped it by about 2 inches and sealed the seam with caulking.

I think the crisis was averted for the cost of about $45 for materials.
