rubber door seals
I just installed new door seals from JC Whitney on my 79 F-150 and now I can barely get my doors to close. Has else had this problem? Has anyone adjusted the doors after putting in new seals?

This makes sense, the new seal will flatten out over time. I think you can adjust this with the striker bolt or the lock adjustment on the side of the door. I did notice mine was the same way. You'll probably need to adjust again after they flatten out.

Ditto on Karljay's info. My passenger door is still a bit more trouble to close than driver's side, suspect because it doesn't get massaged as often. But enjoy the decrease in wind noise, quite remarkable in my old beastie. :-)
