Default 1991 convertable whether stripping

I just bought a full weather stripping kit for my c4 1991 covertiable. I had it installed and I have a few issues I was hoping to get some input on. First it still leaks and as bad as before. Second I can't shut the doors without slamming them. Almost ripped off door panel on drivers side to shut door. Third I can not roll window all the way up when door is shut weather stripping gets in the way. Have to open door to roll window all the way up. Fourth I can hardly get top to securely go into up position it's so tight. Any thoughts or solutions to issue? I didn't buy a cheap kit either, whole kit was over $600. Thought it would stop my leak issues!!

I've never done weatherstripping on mine, yet. But, It sounds like the place that did yours did it wrong. Have you taken it back to show them the problems?
