I removed the new push on weatherstriping and tested both doors. Latches sound good, doors close fine. Put the new push on weatherstriping back on same problem as before. If I roll the Windows down it is better. Called the company but not much help. Maybe a member has had this happen and solved it. I'm thinking of trying another supplier. Thanks for your help.

Try spraying WD-40 on the gasket. Letting the door sit windows up in the sun helps tremendously. Taking a Crecent wrench and slightly bend the pinch weld in at the tight areas helps, then install the gasket. Videos on Youtube if you have access...
