Have I made a mistake?

The rubber seal on the bottom of my front door was rubbing my new carpet and making it dirty, and it also meant I couldn;t put a doormat inside.

So I have just cut it off with a Stanley knife.

But now I have a bit of a gap under the door :rolleyes:

Have I messed up? And can I redeem it? I wondered about that stuff you stick on the bottom, that's like a little brush.

Would that go over the doormat better than the rubber, which just pushed it out of the way?

Or should I get a draft excluder (yukky things though).

Help!

I have a brush type draught excluder thing on the bottom of my door and my carpet protector thing just jams in it all the time. I persevere as I want to keep my carpet reasonably clean. Don't know what else you could try. Sorry I'm not too much help. Perhaps someone else might have some ideas.
