I've got the same situation. I did some searching at chevelle tech and what I found.
Brand makes a difference - Metro & SofSeal are the two "name" brands and it just depends on circumstances as to which works best. Some swear BY & others swear AT each manufacturer.
IF the gaps are even all around, some people put a stiffener in the crease (where it folds over) to expand the seal out. Seems like a thin length of the peal & stick weatherstrip from the parts store is the stiffener of choice. Its black & does not unnecessarily stand out.
Last thought is if its loose at the top, raise the door hinges so it seals at top. At least this way if its loose at the bottom, water will leak out not in. Hope you find a good solution.

I put new door weatherstrip on my '68 El Camino. I bought it from Year One.
This 'Camino has been in my family since it was brand new, so I know the
history behind the door adjustments, etc.
At any rate, with the old weatherstrip (originals) the doors sealed fine.
Now with the new weatherstrip, water leaks inside in fair quantities when
washing the car, and there is a LOT of wind noise when going down the road.
I was able to move the striker posts in a bit, and that helped, but I can
still see day light when I look up between the doors and the roof. I know I
installed them correctly. Has anyone else had this problem, and are there
any fixes? Something to expand the weatherstrip to make it seal tighter?
Thanks in advance.
