Is there a gap where air passes thru at the top edge?

I had a gap and by careful adjustment of the down-limit, I got some more pressure on the door and most of the gap was closed. That's the fastest thing you can do in this weather.

Then I got that garage weatherstrip and used rivets and little washers to hold the weatherstrip on just right. I did mine in the summertime and I can't imagine trying to do it in the cold.

I'm trying to think of a fast way to do something.

You might use doublesided carpet tape to affix some insulation up there.

If you have some steel up there and a bunch of magnets, maybe you could do something that way.

I will need to google down-limit. Anything that has to do with adjusting a garage door freaks me out bc of that spring. What's odd is that the weather strip thats on there doesn't make full contact. There are also tons of cracks alongside the door that I will fill with caulk.

Your idea about doublesided carpet tape is brilliant! Thank you!
