Question on door and trunk weatherstrips.

once weatherstripping has been installed it's very likely you won't be able to shut the doors or deck lid.... if that is the case, loosen the latches on B pillars and move them out so the doors will latch on the 1st click. the doors won't be lined up with the body they'll be protruding. that's OK you're teaching the weatherstrip where it needs to contour. leave the doors as is for a few days and then adjust the latches in a little more. the window frames are tough but if you wanted to you could bend one... that's not good, naturally... so be careful how tight the doors/mechanisms are adjusted... the gaskets will retain the contour more as time goes by making the doors easier to close. don't try to rush the process...

the deck lid can be raised buy raising the trunk mount bracket if the weatherstripping makes the deck lid shut too too tight.

this stuff needs to be broken in so to speak. for good sealing gaskets i'd say do it naturally, not with a heat gun...

here is some door & window info, might interest you...
