Hi.
My original door seals were knackered & falling to pieces so I recently ordered some new ones.
Rather than the original type I bought the more modern push on black rubber type from esm.
I fitted the new one to the drivers side yesterday & now the drivers door which used to shut nicely wont shut at all unless you bang the door ridiculously hard, obviously this is unsuitable & will damage something so I've had to remove it & refit the original (which is now all damaged & wont stay on).
Any suggestions how people ever fit new seals & get their doors to close?
Thanks.
Neil.

You can adjust the door latch outward so door isn't as tight against the pillars

Wont that make the doors stick out proud of the surrounding panels?

I can't see it doing so as to be noticable. It's only a tiny bit from a tight slam shut to a normal close. They are meant to be adjusted. As doors get used they will probably need adjust back a bit anyway

i have just replaced them all on my 4 door car and i just moved all the strikers out about 1/4'' and they shut and line up well

Just tried & it seems that my door catches are already on maximum adjustment.

try steve parker at esm workshops he used to have a thinner section rubber
