Door Seals
Good Afternoon Gents,
I installed new rubber door seals on my 78 and it requires a good slam to shut and near impossible to open. I installed these back in the fall just prior to putting the car away in storage. I figured with the doors closed tightly for a period of a couple of months that the rubber would form better and make opening and closing easier.
I was wrong...
I would also like to mention that it is only the Drivers door that is effected as the passenger operates fine. Yes, the rubber was installed correctly.
I forget the seal manufacturer but were oredered from Corvette Central.
Has anyone run into this similiar problem or have any suggestions...???
I appreciate your input...!!!

I will give that a try this weekend and see if this helps. Is there a particular brand on the market that I should use for this application?
Thank you... much appreciated...!!!

Your "can't resist" comment fails to amuse me and something you'd see on one of the kiddy forums.
Anyway, if anyone else has any helpful input please let me know.
