Been using search for about an hour and couldn’t find this issue specifically. I Installed new door seals from jbugs, went in fairly easily however on drivers side door, at bottom hinge, the seal doesn’t want to stay in place. Also doesn’t like the check rod, seems to bind and peal itself out when door opened and closed and is conntacting check rod seal. So when closing the door it is extremely difficult to close. I’ve attempted to adjust the door to compensate for seal however no luck.
Glue seal in place and check again?
Any pointers/ help appreciated.

Yeah that piece that goes over the hinge thing ripped and fell out of mine. I am also using the JBugs kit, I have the German one. My signature is listed as a 68 but the body is actually a 69.
