I have read that even when new they sucked........and new cars were parked and maybe sat for weeks or months before being sold. That gave the seals time to relax so they could adjust them. I haven't seen (or installed) 1 manufacturer that sells rubbers that don't fight you when new. Maybe some people get lucky, or there gaps are huge, who knows. So put them on, close the doors, and come back in a couple of weeks and THEN adjust them. I'm sure I will get backlash on this one, but I have seen it a hundred times!
