Thanks, I bought some this week and my doors don't want to shut with the hollow ones. I'm glad I didn't try the solid ones I had on the shelf.

The reason you have to slam to the door is...the repro w/strips are based on the 'fatter' FoMoCo "service part replacement" w/strips.

The flatter factory installed w/strips were only available on new vehicles.

This "slamming the door" issue existed with all the service part replacements...and now...with the repro w/strips...regardless of what vehicle they're for...for decades.

At one time, the service part replacement weatherstrips came with an instruction sheet on how to install them:

"After glueing the weatherstrip on, use masking tape liberally to hold it in place, especially at the corners.' 'Close the door till it just touches the striker plate (remove dome lamp bulb if applicable).'

'When the glue has dried, gently remove the tape."
