I have heard that LMC sells cheap rubber, Dennis Carpenter makes/sells the best through his dealer network.
Slam the door and see if you can make it catch, the rubber will have to mold itself to the opening and should be a lot better in a couple weeks.

Some of the after market weatherstrips are made in China, are too fat, or too long. Dennis Carpenter makes the w/strips from the original molds. The weatherstrips will always be a bit larger than what comes off, because the old ones will flatten out over time. What you describe tho, is poor quality w/strips. lmc is not a FTE sponsor.

Door Weatherstripping
Amazing. I Just Finished Struggling With Replacing The Drivers Side Weatherstripping On My 63, Using Lmc Truck. And I Had The Same Problems You Did. I Ended Up Taking The Door Off The Hinges, And Used Small Sheet Metal Screws To Attach. Then I Trimmed A Little Off The Front Section, By The Curve Near The Window, Where It Was Squeezing The Most, And That Helped. Good Luck.
