Craig,
The seals are too thick for the doors, a problem with a number of builders.
Even if you didn't have a bulge, it is unlikely that you would be able to
close the door from the inside.
Simple solution is to replace the bottom half appr. of the seal with one of
a slghtly smaller diameter.
The source would be from a company that supplies upholstery bits to people
who do restoration of automobiles. If you find one, ask first for a sample.
