Once the seals are installed you can tug at it in places to get it to seat nicely and flush. If you yank it too much in one direction, that other end will bunch up and will prevent the door from closing smoothly. It has to be adjusted to evenly spread around the door.
Remember the door mechanisms (hinges, latch and check straps) also were new back then, which led to factory spec door alignment. All these factors contributed to easier door closures.
If the weatherstrip isn't all the way inside the channels they will protrude out and hit the body, leading to awkward door closures (you'll need to slam the door shut).
Don't leave it like this!
