Re: Help with door adjustment after new door seal install

I think the worst problem with these new seals is that they need to break in. I installed my driver's side seal and have to slam it pretty hard to get the door to close all the way. It's best to install these in the summer heat, as they will break in faster. I installed mine in winter, and it's just now starting to close easier. As the summer heat increases, I expect it to get better. I haven't installed the passenger side yet for this reason. If you use the search feature on this site, you'll find this to be a common problem with all new seals. Unfortunately it also stops you from locking the door when it's under so much pressure. You just have to wait and use it like it is until it breaks in. Hurry up summer!
