How do you apply weatherstripping to the bottom of a sliding patio door?

GREG R asked:


Our patio door has a draft coming from the bottom. The draft is where the door slides, on the stationary door. Any ideas?

How do I fix the draft in my patio door?

Mels asked:


My sliding patio door has a draft between the stationary portion and the sliding portion when it is closed. When it is windy snow and/or rain will come through this space as well. I tried some weather stripping, but because it slides the adhesive has worn off. Does anyone know of a solution, or a different type of weatherstripping made for this issue? I have had no luck at hardware stores.
