If you have an exterior door with a threshold that’s capped by a rubber gasket and the gasket is broken or badly worn, here is how to replace it:
Remove the door. Use an old chisel or screwdriver to pry out the splines that hold the gasket in place (if there are splines), and then pry up the gasket and pull it out of its groove.
Take the old gasket to a home improvement center or hardware store and buy an exact replacement. Most new gaskets just press into place (you can force the new gasket, if necessary, by pushing it against a short wooden block).
