A light-weight garage door panel section for use in an articulated garage door assembly includes a rectangular face panel, a pair of elongated extruded upper and lower channel members which function as horizontal rail supports, and two or more stiles. The channel members are each formed so as to define a longitudinally extending retaining channel therein. The channels are preferably each delineated laterally by a pair of generally parallel spaced front and rear webs. The upper surface of the upper channel member includes a longitudinally extending, upwardly curving convex portion. The lower surface of the lower channel member is formed having a longitudinally extending, upwardly curving concave portion having substantially the same radius of curvature as the convex portion, such that the upper surface of one garage door section is adapted for mating engagement with the lower surface of a next immediately adjacent panel section positioned thereabove. In assembly, the retaining channels are provided in an opposed downwardly and upwardly open orientation, and the face panel is partially located therein to couple the face panel thereto, with the upper and lower channel members forming the upper and lower edges of each panel section.
