DSraven is dead on, (again) you may need to make some adjustment and I would urge you to contact SOFF SEAL for your door weatherstripping. I went thru (2) previous OEM suppliers and could never get my door closed at all until I went to SOFF SEAL. They have the small press in clips for your door. Check them out.
