New door gaskets .... Something wrong
« on: April 21, 2013, 01:58:45 pm »
I just installed new rubber door gaskets and I can't make the doors shut.  I know the truck hasn't been adjusted to close tighter with the old worn gaskets.  If I really slam the doors, it will shut...but the top of the door is bending out from the pressure.

Will the gasket settle...or did I do something wrong?
