A seal assembly for an upward acting door that is positionable between an open and closed position. The seal assembly contains a base member having a first and second flexible sealing member extending therefrom for sealing engagement with the door. The base member is mounted adjacent the door to facilitate sliding engagement between the door and the first and second seal members as the door is moved between the open and closed positions.

1. A seal assembly for an upward acting garage door enclosing an opening formed by a top frame member and a pair of side frame members, the upward acting garage door positionable between a fully open position and a fully closed position, the seal assembly comprising: a base member having a front surface, a rear surface, a top surface and a bottom surface, said rear surface to mate against and to be secured to one of the side frame members, the front and rear surfaces are opposed to each other and wherein the front and rear surfaces extend perpendicular to the upward acting garage door when the rear surface of the base member is mated against and secured to one of the side frame members;a first sealing member secured to the base member at the front surface and including a base section and a wiper angularly extending from the base section, wherein the wiper is configured to engage with the upward acting garage door to flexibly press against the upward acting garage door;a second sealing member comprising a bulb seal, said second sealing member is secured to the base member and extends from the base member at the top surface to face the upward acting garage door, the top surface being generally perpendicular to the front surface; wherein the wiper of the first sealing member protrudes beyond the second sealing member when not flexibly pressing against the upward acting garage door;each of the first sealing member and the second sealing member are configured to slidingly and sealingly engage the upward acting garage door when the upward acting garage door is moving between the fully open position and the fully closed position, wherein the second sealing member generates a friction force with the upward acting garage door in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of said second sealing member, and said first and second sealing members generate said friction force in said direction perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said base member when the upward acting garage door is moving between the fully open and fully closed positions;wherein the wiper of the first sealing member and the bulb seal of the second sealing member have top surfaces that protrude a substantially same amount beyond the top surface of the base member when said bulb seal and said wiper simultaneously slideably engage a face of the upward acting garage door to resist lateral movement of the door. 2. The seal assembly of claim 1, wherein the first sealing member and base member are co-extruded into a single component. 3. The seal assembly of claim 1, wherein the base member and first and second sealing members are co-extruded into a single component. 4. The seal assembly of claim 1, wherein the base member is formed of a polymer. 5. The seal assembly of claim 1, wherein the first and second sealing members are formed of a polymer. 6. The seal assembly of claim 1, wherein the first sealing member seal is a wiper that flexes outwardly away from base member when the garage door is in the closed position. 7. The seal assembly of claim 1, wherein the second sealing member comprises a sufficient resiliency to deform while remaining in sliding engagement with the garage door, thereby reducing noise generated by the garage door by maintaining pressure against the upward acting garage door when the upward acting garage door is in the closed position. 8. The seal assembly of claim 1, wherein the base member has a surface that is arcuate. 9. A seal assembly for enclosing a gap formed between an upward acting garage door and a building frame having a pair of side frame members, the upward acting garage door being movable between a fully open position and a fully closed position, the seal assembly comprising: a base member having a front surface, a rear surface, a top surface and a bottom surface, the front and rear surfaces are opposed to each other and wherein the front and rear surfaces are perpendicular to the upward acting garage door;a first sealing member angularly extending from the front surface proximate the top surface and configured to slideably engage the upward acting garage door to enclose the gap, the first sealing member having a base section and a wiper extending from the base section at the front surface;a second sealing member comprising a bulb seal, said second sealing member extending outwardly from the top surface and being of a sufficient resiliency to deform and slideably engage the upward acting garage door to enclose the gap, the top surface being generally perpendicular to the front surface;wherein the wiper of the first sealing member protrudes beyond the second sealing member when not slidably engaging the upward acting garage door;wherein the second sealing member generates a friction force with the upward acting garage door in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of said second sealing member, and said first and second sealing members generate said friction force in said direction perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said base member when the upward acting garage door is moving between the fully open and fully closed positions; wherein the wiper of the first sealing member and the bulb seal of the second sealing member have top surfaces that protrude a substantially same amount beyond the top surface of the base member when said bulb seal and said wiper simultaneously slideably engage a face of the upward acting garage door to resist lateral movement of the door. 10. The seal assembly of claim 9, wherein the rear surface is arcuate.
