Yes, they are a tight fit, especially on the early cars.  They do squish out
a bit but not as much as Id like.

Subject: [T3] new door seals

Finally installed one of the new seals I obtained.  Original profile with
the "block" around the check strap and hole for the door switch.  WOW was
it ever hard to close the door afterward.  I seem to remember some folks
saying this is the case.  I ended up loosening the hinge and sliding the
door out a bit.  When I installed the ISP version, it didn't seal well and
I ended up moving the door in.  I never got it right.  So, I think because
the door had been moved in, this tight fit was really pronounced.

Anyway, I'm assuming that this tight fit is normal and possibly over time,
they will compress?  I definitely am looking forward to a dry carpet.
