Default New Pillar Weatherstrip Problem

Replaced the pillar weatherstrip after getting a new windshield and now the interior lights stay on telling me one or both of the door switches are not being pushed in. I have even tried unscrewing them out a bit and still they stay on. It must be both because if I sit and hold either one in for a few minutes they still do not go off.
Anybody experienced this before with new weatherstrip?

Nope mine shut off after all weatherstripping was replaced. Check the trunk switch sometimes on mine that triggers all the lights to come on.
