Lower Door Seals

[Major10]

My lower door seals are pushing my door out of alignment. I purchased new seals, and the passenger side is still pushing door out about 3/8". Does anyone know how to fix this? The new seals have not be glued in yet. I had seen a video where a guy said he uses a heat gun on them to make it a better fit. Any help is appreciated.

You know I found this as well and I thought about realigning the hinge to make the door closed easier. I have to slam the hell out of my door to get it to close.

I left mine in the sun for a few hours, installed them, then shut the doors for a few hours. I purchased the really soft ones. Forget who the vendor was.

Heat gun is a great way to rapidly get them softened up.

There are also some aftermarket seals that are non stock but are great alternatives as well.

Yep, I redid all my door top and tailgate liftgate seals using that Amazon product. It works fantastic. Doors shut firm but easy. I bought 50 feet for other projects.
