    compass corona 556 door

    We used to have a 556 and my door used to do the same in winter. Usually ok once heating has been on. We had major problems with water leaking in the garage door. Had to make sure it was perfectly level all the time. It was a nightmare. Exchanged it in the end as we could not solve the problem
