After all was correct the push on style would not allow the door to close without really slamming it, and it held the door a little off plane. I got a set of the original glue on ones and the doors now shut with very little effort. The push on style are a little wider and hold the door a little farther out. OBTW, the glue on ones are not very hard to install.
Ditto. Ordered a set of glue-on ones yesterday to replace my new push-on ones, I haven't even got the truck on the road for the "first time". The doors just don't shut right with the push-on seals. Some people seem to make them work, but not me.
