Gas is so expensive. Our French doors are drafty. I fixed a broken roler keep and that has tightened things up quite a bit, but it doesn't seal well still. The corner of the door is good but when you get to the middle where it meets the other door, there is a gap so the seal is not good. You can see in these photos.
Top center, big gap between seal and door: https://ibb.co/wSg8MPy
Top corner, no gap: https://ibb.co/fY4g9qR

I'm not sure if it can be adjusted for this problem? (all the rollers and keeps are adjusted as close as possible already).

Even if it can be adjusted I guess some new seals can't hurt as these are 15 years old. They are Q-LON polyurethane foam seals. I also notice that there is a second recess for a second seal in the door frame (see pic below) but there is no seal fitted in it. Should there be? I wonder if I should fit a seal in there as well?
