Is it SoffSeal by chance ?
Anytime you have a pretty good sealed cabin, you'll be closing the door against air/cabin pressure if it cannot escape... unless you have soffseal.. then you just shutting the door against hard-___ w'seal.
just my opinoin though...

The seal should form over time. Give it a month or two. If it still doesn't close right you may have some poor quality weatherstriping.
