So in the end, the concreter sent a mutual friend around (unbeknownst to me, I just thought he was dropping in to see my shed).

we talked about the water issues and I showed him the random apron cut etc. He handed me $100 from the concreter who had said that he didn't want the hassle of dealing with me anymore (I guess those calls were annoying enough) and that he thought if he came around we might punch on (we probably would have as we had exchanged some very heated words on the phone when I told him what I really thought). So if our mutual friend thought what I was saying was fair to just give me the $100 for the weather strip.

I bought that GaraSeal one from eBay. It remains to be seen how well it will seal to the concrete sealer and grit additive. If it doesn't seal well I'll pull it up, strip back the sealer and put it down again. The supplier felt it would work fine as is but we'll see. I've also siliconed around the guides and bottoms of the flashings so when the next rain hits I'll know.

Here's an offcut of what the strip actually looks like.

What you see inside and out. That door rests on the outside of that hump.

I've tested pushing the Silvia over the strip and you feel it there but it's not that hard to overcome at least on a light car.

Fingers crossed no more water issues.
