    Wondering if I did this correctly? I finally got the chance to put on new door seals for the old truck. I looked at the ones on the truck and it looked like the larger hump of the seal was on the outside, the area that seal against the door and the smaller hump sealed against the gap between the door and jamb. Of course the seals on there were old and worn out. I installed the new seals and now I have to forcefully close the door to get to close completely. Did I install the the right way or should the larger hump seal the gap between the door and jamb and the smaller hump seal against the body?

    Mine is the one on the left. I'm thinking the bigger lobe should be toward the inside perimeter of the door. Stare at it long enough and it seems that is how it goes. But then again.
