Just for grins, take some old school Armorall and wipe down the passenger side weather-strip before you remove it and see if that helps. I did that to one out here we had problems with and the doors shut a lot better. The push ons are a little thicker witch explains why it is harder to close the doors, but it is more about what the door does to the weather-strip that creates most of the problem. Armorall helps to allow the door to slip on the weatherstrip and not stick to it. WES
