Adjusting door seal that has been in for years

[Who.Me?]

I've had trouble closing the driver's door since I got my truck. Tonight, I had a look at the seal after reading Hazetguy's comments in LAGrunthaner's 'bloody vent window thread' (text copied below).

Whoever installed the driver's door seal on my truck didn't follow Hazetguy's method below, so the leading edge of the seal (along the foremost edge of the frame) points in to the cab, rather than out. It flps from 'out' to 'in' just where the frame curves and is creased at that point. From pictures I've found, I'm pretty sure the truck was painted more than ten years ago and the seal has probably been this way for since then.

I managed to bend it over and tape it in place temporarily and the door closed much easier and didn't try to spring back open by itself for the first time.

Can anyone recommend a method to make the seal flip the right way and stay there for good? Would it respond to a heat gun, or is the crease there for good now?

Maybe get a new one and let it get a correct set to it. I've had to put lo-tack tape on the door jamb so the tape would slide open and not hang up until the rubber got a good set to it.
