Re: 63 doors wont shut
I did mine about a month ago while I was painting, and the thickness of replacment seals is definately different.
Put the seals in THEN align your door gaps and bear-claw and striker positions. The aftermarket seals pinch in the FRONT, they end up "rolling" forward and pinching instead of compressing. You need have someone in the truck to hold the seal in place while you close the door firmly. Once its in the correct place, park the truck outside for a day and let the sun beat on it...the rubber needs to break down and be heat cycled before it fully conforms to the shut-points. Leaving my doors closed all the time, and keeping it in the sun when I can, my doors shut firmly after about 3 weeks.
