weatherstripping

I replaced the weather stripping on the driver door of my 92 and am experiencing the problem of the door not wanting to close all the way without a hard slam. How long did it take everyone else's to wear in where you didn't have to slam the door for it to latch good?

Ok thanks, I just have to give it some time it sounds like. I don't know if it will make any difference, but since the truck isn't the daily driver anymore I can keep the door shut on it for days at a time maybe that will smash it down quicker...
