Re: Help with door adjustment after new door seal install

thanks very much for the input guys. At least misery loves company I guess. Blazerowner, thanks for sharing Paul's tips, will go thru that list. I send him a pm and didn't hear back for awhile, so perhaps his box is full. My door fit, gaps, etc was perfect before I installed these, now it is pretty much horrible. If I leave it unlocked, I might as well leave a "take me" sign on it, ha. I get plenty of heat around here, I'm in the desert, will try the armor all/silicone, but I have a physical-it's-in-the-friggin-way of shutting the door problem on both sides. Have checked and double checked to make sure the seal is properly installed and it is. So, guess I'm gonna have to monkey with the hinges. Have to be honest, although my old seals were pretty shot, if this stuff doesn't flatten out in a few months, they're coming off the truck. Seems such a common complaint, seems they'd be made at least a LITTLE thinner in order to not have such a long break-in period. Pretty frustrating. The quality of the seals is awesome. Maybe if I run them through Delta planer and shave a few thou off... Ha.. Just kidding. Again, thanks for all the ideas and input guys, much appreciated. Any more ideas very welcome, keep em comin.
