Step 1: Check and seal gaps
Check where are the largest gaps. Measure the gap from side to side and cut a piece of backer rod to fill the space. Larger gaps might require more than one piece. Once the space is filled, caulk the upper and the lower edge. Stick a decorative trim against the caulked area then drive in some finishing nails to secure it.
Step 2: Fix weather stripping
Use a cutter to cut off the length of copper supply-pipe that is corroded.
