Winterproof conservatory - sliding door section

What is the rule here regarding water drainage? You should be able to plug the innermost holes to avoid cold air coming in, right? I've also heard of some people using window insulation in the tracks for doors. Does anyone have any thoughts/tips?

Looks like Skånska Byggvaror? If so, the manual should indicate where to seal the drainage holes.
Hard to see in the picture, but what's your plan for water drainage? The rail needs to stand on a decking board so the drip edge falls into the groove between two decking boards.
You also need to seal under the rail, otherwise driving rain etc. will run in under the rail and into the conservatory.

Thanks for the feedback
The picture is just an example. The room has been ready for many years, but looks similar in the actual profile.
Unfortunately, I don't have a manual, so I thought that one might be able to seal some of the inner holes to reduce
the cold? Or place some form of insulation in the grooves etc. for additional sealing.
Perhaps I should also place insulation in all the joints, between the channel plastic and the frame as well, for example.

Close the doors. Any holes directly under a closed door can be plugged. Free from memory.

The installation manual for similar ones can be downloaded from Skånska Byggvarors website as previously mentioned.

You can order the "pluggarna" from Skånska Bygg, costs just a few kronor.

I think it looks like Willab Garden, we have the same one.

Keep in mind that if it's single glazing, there can be condensation on the panes that needs to run off. We have single glazing and it's quite tight, there can be a fair amount of condensation when it's cold outside and warmer inside when the sun is shining.

As I suspected, thank you for the reply

Keep in mind that if it's single-pane glass, condensation can form on the panes that needs to drain out. We have single-pane glass and it's quite tight, which causes some condensation when it's cold outside and warmer inside when the sun is shining.

Do you know if plugs are also available for Willab?

Is this a product you can order from the website or do you have to contact them for an extra order? Can't find anything on the website... Suspect that in my case it's mice crawling in through the holes.

I contacted them via email.
