door opening weather strip

This may seem stupid, but I cant figure out which way the weather strip installs. If I install the door weather strip with the 'puffy' side out towards the door (which I assume is correct) the door doesnt close all the way. If I install it with the 'puffy' side in towards the inside of the, it has a bit of gap around the door and doesnt look right.

 

What am I doing wrong?

More info is required to answer your question:

 

What brand of weatherstrip are you using?   Is it after market such as the Precision kit that MSA and others sell or is it parts store brand?

 

If it is made for your specific Z there should be a 90 deg corner that only goes in one way and the bulb part faces the door. 

 

If you have one of the Precision kit door seals,  there is an old and well documented problem (search)  with the door seals being too thick.

 

There is a recent discussion on door seals in the 240Z, 260Z, 280Z forum. Check it out.

Well Ill be damned... they fit surprisingly well! Other than the about a foot you have to trim off, and the toupe color (inside of seal) its a super fit! Strange how overly excited I am about this lol... its the little things :)
