I also put seals on the doors of my '55 1st series. Used the thicker seal and had problems closing the door. Odered the thinner seals and the doors are sealed and close great. I suggest removing the doors and prior to that, drill 1/8 diameter holes thru the door and each hinge. When installing the doors use couple 1/8 diameter pins to align the doors and then install the hinge bolts, That worked for me.
