I went to put new door weatherstripping on the fron doors of my 84 crew and it doesn't work right. It is Metro Brand sponge and says it fits 72-93 trucks. It fits the door frame great, but it is too think to shut the door. I can't even push it to the second catch. I noticed the original was glued in and had no metal in it. This stuff sticks over the jam and has like a metal spring to hold it on. Has anyone run into this problem before? If I take the weatherstrip loose in the latch area for about a foor in length I cn get it to shut all the way. The interference seems to occur where the plastic door panel is on the door.
