I think the rubber is just too fat. I had this problem with my '54 ... man, I was slamming those doors with unbelievable force to get them to close! The rubber just wasn't right - it was too thick.

Finally, Classic Parts (Chevy Duty) had the right stuff ... I did the job again and it was perfect.

Steel had the right stuff, too, but they were WAY more expensive.
