I experienced the same thing when I did my door seals. I went through them and made sure everything was seated nicely and it helped a little bit. My passenger door is still a little tough to open though, but it's worth pulling the molding off again and double checking everything. Hope this helps!

I had the opposite problem after I installed molding. The door was hard to close. Had to slam it pretty hard. No issues opening. Over time, it got better and now is just fine. I guess the molding needed time to compress.

I assume you are talking about the rubber molding that runs 360 degrees around the entire door opening.

When I got mine from LRS, they had 2 types. They had the exact Ford replacement molding and they had the knock-off aftermarket stuff. I spent more and got the Ford molding

Make sure you have a good plastic bushing on the latch post on the frame, then adjust it.
New bushings (Sleeves) make a great difference. You can't get a good adjustment without them.
