installed GMCPaul's nice no-glue door seals. Love em. However, door won't shut to the second latch without HEAVILY slamming the door. Understand door latch adjustment may be necessary after installing new seals, however, I've moved my cab-side latch catch as far outward as it will go and I still have to slam. I don't need to slam it as hard, but still unacceptably much - and now the rear of the door isn't flush with the cab when I do get it to latch. I know lotsa folks have done this - so appreciate your help. What am I missin?
