Think it will have to take a while to break in.
Make shape and form to your door. After a while if it's still hard to close you might have to adjust the door hinges etc.

Re: i still can not get the door to close
I have actually taken a ratchet strap and used it to pull the doors in tight to "smush" the seals in some. Works best on a hot, sunny day though. Time will help, but the strap works if you can leave it on a few days.

Use a hairdryer to soften the stripping and close the door a few times so it will take a set.

Re: i still can not get the door to close
you may need new door pins.
the bushings and then the pins themselves get worn out over time. -W |
