Almost done with this 2 year restoration. I replaced the drivers door with the last NOS weather strip I could find, it came in not in original foil GM wrapper...installed, door closed with one finger it has already began to crack and disintegrate even without driving, replaced with CRC now hard to close.. Passenger door, installed 2 different brands (no NOS to be found) door has to be closed hard. There is a bind near the side of dash, a pillar section. I have removed and adjusted it, adjust new A pillar weatherstrip, lubed the weatherstrip on body and door, still take too much effort to close.I can't see if it is the A-pillar weatherstrip, door main weatherstrip, windlace or even the door panel may be installed a little to far forward. I have tried to adjust all of these with no change. Same thing with window down, also there is no weatherstrip . Left it in sun for a few days -temps in 0's here in Bama, no change. I have searched this extensively, the most suggested repair is sitting in the sun but I don't think it will help. Gonna try removing windlace and try again today. Does anyone have outside the box tips? 1990. I think the door panel has a little room to move a little and I have tried that too. Tips appreciated.
