I just installed new weather strips and the door won't close all the way. I know i need to adjust the door again. Or is there another way?

Warm them up with a space heater or wait til theres a warm day when the rubber has soften a little, close your doors, and leave them closed for a couple of days, the rubber will take a set, it will also be this way for a couple of months.
