hmmm...guess you will have to tweak things a bit...or just see if they get easier to close as you use them...

...or keep slamming them....

I can picture that

Have you contacted gmcpauls to ask him or are you going to try to tweak either the jams or hinges?

**67cheby** · 09-24-2012, 05:37 PM

Awesome, cant wait to get home and see if i have mine !! Thanks Keith !

**67cheby** · 09-24-2012, 05:47 PM

i honestly dont know what to do , might try to tweak the flange where they pinch on like JTP said , they are tight in a couple spots and i am hoping the more the doors are setting closed hopefully they are compressing them some

**67cheby** · 09-24-2012, 06:24 PM

no problem , thanks man

Dunenutt · 09-24-2012, 07:28 PM

When I built my truck, I had a terrible time with the door seals. Tried 3 or 4 different styles/brands. I finally ponied up the cash for Soffseals. Total night and day difference. Mine closed right from the get go, with just a little effort. Mine close easier with the window cracked, It will pop your ears if you don't.

**superflysteiny** · 09-24-2012, 07:42 PM

I hate to say thi but I had this same problem with my green truck. I finally got sick of fixing the door gaps because it would make them off. So I cut the rubber on the outside and never looked back. Sold the truck 2 months later

widewhite70 · 09-24-2012, 09:13 PM

Looking good!! It's coming along quick now, and love the way the gauges look!
