Last night we hung the drivers door on the 64- in anticipation of getting outer body panels on and aligned for final fit/ bodywork and paint- I have new hinges on the drivers door- as the old ones were pretty loose and causing fits with the latching when we first received the truck-
So- new hinges in and the door swings nicely now- but if we adjust to where panels line up - the top of the window frame sticks out past the body of the cab by 1/4" we installed the new weatherstripping ( not glued in yet) and I and thinking it's a bit too wide or stiff or thick or something- because if we remove the stripping the door closes ok- (I have door latch issues but we are looking for a replacement latch assembly)
In any case- will this weatherstripping compress more over time and allow the door to sit flush? Passenger side is next and I am anxious to see if the weatherstripping is going to be an issue on that side- any thoughts?
