My grandma a decade ago crashed her golf cart into the garage door. Garage door is inoperable (unrelated), though can be lifted and closed by hand and I don't care about the looks of the dents or anything like that, but after I've completely cleaned out this garage I've noticed that there is a shit ton of light coming in from that garage door at the top, and on the outside it's large enough to stick your entire hand through.
How do I cover the hole to the garage to prevent (or at least limit) bug intrusion without interfering with the opening and closing of the garage door?
picrel isn't my garage door, just an example of what mine also looks like from the inside due to the large gap.

Most likely culprit is the weatherstripping has degraded, or the apron has sunk, or a combination of both. If you want to avoid slabjacking or replacing concrete, replace the weatherstripping and dial in your opener stops and forces (read the manual). May be time for a spring lube and tension. If all that fails get ready for some concrete work or just tack on a strip of wood under the existing header beam. But do check your garage door alignment first.

If your top panel isnt sealing and its that far out of wack, check the top roller brackets.
They are adjustable and they dictate how close or far the top panel rests away from the weatherstripping.

Running into it hard enough can absolutely throw the top brackets out of alignment.

Bugs are always going to find a way into a garage. You fix that to keep raccoons out.

Looks like the poster for an A24 horror film
