Hi all, so while checking out stuff around my place to see how the place is holding up with the fridgid cold outside, I noticed my new sliding glass door that replaced a leaking Pella crap door, new door didn't have any condensation anywhere on the glass but the bottom rail of the stationary door panel is very drafty. I noticed most of the draft is coming in through what looks to be a weep hole. When I put my finger to it to feel the draft there's a very small thin layer of frost around that hole (see pics). It's the only spot that has this moisture right at that hole.
Now I was wondering it sure looks like a weep hole but why would there be a weep on the inside of the door? It has weeps on the outside but the inside seems weird so I'm not sure. Should I put tape over it or something? Like I said the glass never gets condensation and I'm thinking the only reason there was a little frost around that hole was because there's a draft coming up through it and it's mixing right there with the inside warm air. Not too moist in my house anyway the hygrometer reads no more than 28-31%RH on average.
Any thoughts on this are appreciated, thx
