Hi all, some advice please.
Have fitted new Precision seals to my doors (don't have original seals to compare to) and the doors now need to be slammed shut from the outside (so won't pull closed easily from the inside) and don't sit flush. My body shop guy has compared all the relevant door and related measurements to other cars and apart from a bit of tweaking on the driver's door all is good from that aspect.
He has said that new rubbers are larger and have less give than originals and when we do remove the rubbers from part of the frame the doors close fine, but clearly that's not a long-term solution.
Can anyone suggest a narrower/thinner/more flexible door rubber to use, I remember seeing some posts from quite a few years ago suggesting a Nissan Juke or similar set of rubbers.
Any suggestions gratefully received as don't want to waste another wad of money on poor rubbers
