Default weatherstripping question

of all things to post. i have had (knock on wood) no mechanical problems with the car since i purchased the car. car looks amazing until i open the back doors... in which one could actually get hit in the head by the door seal which doesnt seem to want to stick to the frame of the car. at first it was just one door. and now its both back doors. i check and the rubber is in excellent shape with no cracks. any idea on what could be used, or what volvo used, to hold these seals on that may work a little better

thank you very much

Jeff

Try crimping the seal some with pliers then reinstall it.
There is metal that is supposed to hold onto the metal sill.
I have to try it on my white one as well.

Yes there is actually like a runner of thin metal inside the strip.
