It doesn't have to have a magnetic strip. You can get a tube of rare earth magnets and use a glue gun to mount them along the bottom of the flap and they will catch on to the metal bar at the bottom of the doggie door. They're nice and strong and secure and if you space them out evenly they will hold your door closed without a doubt. And yes, a rubber floor mat will do just fine as long as it's cut to the proper proportions so as to ensure a tight fit. There's a video on YouTube that shows how to put in a replacement flap using one. Everyone is so quick to recommend buying a replacement, but when that's what you've already done you feel a little bit like you're throwing your money away on something that's not going to last as long as it should. I understand that feeling completely and I am a do it yourself MacGyver of sorts... LOL.
Hello,
Time to buy a new one I think or cover with a fabric curtain both sides as a temp fix.
Hello, the dog's oils may help warp it, remove it and clean it well with hot water, try to let it cool with something on it to keep it flat
