I just installed the wind lace on my 41 Chevy 1/2 ton. The doors are difficult to close now. Does it take time to break in? Anyone else have similar trouble? Thanks, Joe

I think everybody has 'similar trouble', some of it can be adjusted out by fiddling the hinges and the striker, and if you get them closed tight and leave it closed for a few days or weeks in warm weather the seals will compress a bit, they do need time but you do want them tight to seal well
