Yes, it is very messy, thats why I use the black stuff, as it blends with the
seals.

Yes, but this might take a few years. My wife's Fastback had the seals
replaced in 1991 (with German NOS ones), and the passenger door is still kinda
tight / wanting to be slammed to close, while the drivers side (thats left to
those outside the US) is very easy and well broken in now.
I just did my Notch doors about 2 years ago, and they are (both( tight and
wanting and needing to be slamed to get closed. But,if you leave one of the
windows open then they both close alot easier (lack of pressure build up / maybe
less than air tight?). I hope this helps.
