Default Hangar Door Seal: Sources?

My hangar has horizontally sliding doors, meeting in the middle when closed. There is a varying gap between the two doors when closed. After recent 4" rains over a few days, I see that some rain made it into the hangar. Nothing bad at all, but this could be all but eliminated with some sort of a collapsible rubber seal mounted to one of the doors. I envision a 15-foot strip of rubber material that could be secured to one of the doors with self-tapping screws.

Anyone know of a source? I'm searching now but have yet to find anything. Thanks for any suggestions.

I used EDPM roofing material; about 1/8" thick, 20 year life with direct UV exposure. Wrapped it around some foam pipe insulation to give it shape and spring back.
