Got to be worth a 10 watch? Lol
Failing that you've fitted them incorrectly or you have a problem with your hinges or door lock
or try closing with the window 2 inches down as could be the van is air tight. Lol
Wow reading this thread is addling my brain. I just bought a random rubber, fitted them and it sounds like a glof and door is no harder to shut. I cant think of how you are having such problems.
wow, what a difference, doors shut with a solid thud now.
I've just repositioned my THQ driver side seal (see photo) I've also but a few pin holes in to help release air. It now shuts easy and sounds like a golf
I had a look at this again today. The door still had the 12mm seal on in the outer groove position (this shut but didn’t sound very good), it also had a strip on further inside the door of the THQ seal just seeing for testing (again it closed but didn’t sound any better)
So I gave up with all that and instead fitted the TL seal
Like the Caravelle seal from an earlier post this is not symmetrical.
So I put this is on and it is definitely better but still doesn’t close as easy as the passenger door. I have now cut a slit on the inside every 6” on so and again better. I have left this on now in the hope that the seal will get better over time.
The door also sounds noticeably more tinny than the passenger door so I hope this be improved when I have fitted some deadening

3rd pic Don’t think thats in correct Place
1st pic what’s the extra seal half way down?
Anyone else find these seals trapping a lot of water?
My van is parked with the drivers side up on the kerb so at a slight angle. I went out to it the other day after some rather heavy rain and when I opened the door a huge amount of water dropped to the floor. I’ve got the small step carpets and also noticed that was wet as well.

I’ve now fitted the travelin lite seal on the drivers side and fitted it in the outer mist position but to get it to close nicely I had to cut slits every 6 inches along the length.
I noticed when removing the old seal that it had water in it but I haven’t noticed water inside of the seal

Glad to hear you finally got it to "sound like a golf"
I still don’t think it sounds as good as the passenger door though
I think I’m just going to buy a golf . Then I can enjoy the sound of a real golf car door shutting!! ... yeah my drivers side is a little harder to shut, I like the idea of popping a few holes in the seal... I’ll go out side and do that now
