Are you closing it with the window down or up? How does it close with the window down? Did you just put on new door weatherstrip?

i put weatherstripping in last year and ive closed it both ways. ive considered pulling the door completely off and starting over im so frustrated with it. its holding me up from painting the car. the weatherstripping is OER from classics industries. the passenger door shuts nicely with the weatherstrip in. ive often wondered if the problem was the weatherstrip on the drivers door

Sounds like the weather stripping? I seem to have had the same problem.

I am thinking the same thing. The repop weatherstrip can be stiff.

I am glad this came about, because I was wondering what "brand" to use? Anyone use the repro "latex" weather stripping?
