Wait a while until the new seals compress then it will be ok, lots of new cars have doors that take more effort to close until the seals become squashed a little, problem with adjusting now you will end up with rattles and wind noise before long, and maybe even worse water ingress, best just to put up with it. |

The doors are mine can be difficult to close at times, if you throw the door to from a distance it compresses the air inside the car and makes it bounce back, if you close slowly and then push harder for the last inch (25mm |

LR call that a striker in their documentation. Also known as a striker plate or latch plate. |

How about you lower one window when you get out of the car, just a fraction so it gets rid of the air pressure inside the car when you close the doors and then use global close on your keyfob to shut the windows as you lock the car?? |

You are right Landiroamer, your knowledge is better than the knowledge of JLR's authorised service station.
