Like I said Will,
I experimented with my door seals and in flight bowing out air leakage, I found
a new seal was my answer for ease of security.  My bulb size is larger but 
softer.
It is not terribly expensive to change out.  

As far as heating, in Miami you have all the heat you should need in an hour 
outside
to squish your seal for sure.  Especially this time of year.

Watch that you didn't put a fold of the headliner or other interior finish on 
the
flange where you tap on the door seal.  If the interior fabric folds over the
flange of the fuselage you'll never get an easy finish.  If all that is clear,
I just would put on a different seal.

Sorry, it is hard to diagnose on line.
