My back door weather strip had gotten torn up over the years. Just replaced it with an OEM one today, put a bead of waterproof silicone seal around the metal it pushes onto. Took awhile to get it seated all around.
Question is now the door is tougher to close, a light close like before it won't close all the way, needs a hard close to latch. And when I pull on the door opener lightly like before it won't unlatch. I have to pull hard and the latch releases with a hard pop.
Is this normal with a new seal and just needs to break in a bit? I've gone around it quite a few times getting it pushed on.
