Did new door latches solve anything?

[chris989]

Hello all,
1989 v2500

After paint I installed new weather stripping and Like 99% of all weather stripping it is to stiff.

My doors shut decent before,, not perfect, but now have to be slammed with follow through. I readjusted, they actually sit a little high but still suck to close.

My latches operate as designed but are ~35 years old. Has anyone installed the new latched,, like from brothers trucks and noticed any appreciable latching qualities?

Thanks in advance
Chris
