This method of installing weatherstrip has worked well for me on several different old vehicles. I have found that using the reproduction weatherstrip for most vehicles is way too thick and doesn't compress enough to allow the doors to close properly. With the weather strip I used, the door closes very nicely without having to slam the door. To check if the weatherstrip is making contact all around the door I use a strip of paper, or in this case a piece of doubled over masking tape, and close the door on it. Then I slowly pull the tape out and if there is resistance that means the weatherstrip is making a seal. If you do this in several spots around the door you can find the loose or tight spots easily. Hope this makes sense and can help someone.
