'05 jeep wrangler replacement weather stripping seems too thick, trouble shutting door now

I got replacement weather stripping for the drivers side door and now the door is hard to close and seems like the weather stripping is too thick above the door handle beside the window. Any suggestions please. I trimmed it down a little and still didn't help

SOURCE: How do I replace the interior LH door handle 97 Jeep Wrangler?

you will need a t-20 or t-15 torx bit driver to remove 2 screws holding the handle this is all that holds them on, on once you have a replacement handle it is easier to remove 2 lower screws on the door panel and unsnap the door panel to loosen it this will allow space making it easier to reinstall new handle just slide each end into the slot and reinsert 2 screws to not fully tighten until door panel is snapped back in. the panel is held on with clips and can be released using plastic pry tool around door panel edges.

How do I remove the door panels froma 2003 jeep wrangler

You'll need to remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. If needed, you can pull back the weather seal (can't reuse it, but it's not that important) and you will be able to access everything inside the door
