Door Rubbers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone had a problem with the back of the door not closing after you install the rubbers? When I have them installed fat side out, the rear of the door will not be flush. I even removed the striker plate with the same results. It looks like the rubber gasket is too fat on the front side near the hinge area. When I install them narrow side out, the doors are flush but you can see daylight all the way around the door. I measured the thickness side to side and it is approximately an inch thick. My other set in the other truck are only 7/8". Could I have bought the rubber weatherstrip in the wrong thickness? Thanks, Kerry
