I'm trying to install the belt weatherstrip on my doors and the seemingly simple task has turned into something more difficult. The mounting pads that are welded in the door where you screw the weatherstrip to seem to have varying depths. When I put the weatherstrip on the passenger door, the most rearward pad sticks out more than the others and causes a gap between the door and the weatherstrip on the outside.
The drivers side door is worse because all of the pads stick out too far and there is a gap all the way down. I've tried weatherstrip with and without the chrome bead and they are both the same.
I don't remember seeing an issue with this when I disassembled everything before painting, but it has been a while.

Has anyone else seen this, and if so what should I do to try and remedy this?
Thanks

The way the door skin and inner are welded on these varies a great deal. We fixed some under warranty by bending new ones before install, but it cant fix the way it was put together.
Youll be fussing with it to make it look/work right.
Good luck.

I was afraid it was something like that.
I will see what I can do to get it better. Hopefully I can get it "good enough".

Thanks for the info.
