door gaskets

Since repalcing the door seals ( 2 years ago) I just cant get the doors esp the drivers to close properly. I spoke with another guy who finaly cut his off so his would close better. Is the a problem others have had...ANY SUGGESTIONS. Perhaps a different type of seal

They will squish down after awhile and close normal.

Re: door gaskets

Maybe adjust the door ever so slightly to compensate? At least until the gaskets wear in.

Re: door gaskets

Make sure your hinges aren't worn, or bent, if the door doesnt align properly, it will never seat in right.
