The door gaskets that I have do have 3 screws to locate them. One on the top, and two on the bottom. They seem to fit quite well with respect to the door side of the gasket. The lip that sticks up could have perhaps 1/8 inch ground/cut off, but the door still closes well on it, and if I put some vaseline on it, I don't think I have to worry about it moving or catching and folding over. I still have to work on the fender side seal. That may take a little more grinding. It is annoying that they don't fit perfectly, but I'll get over it. I think it is also better if the front side of the gasket seals under the fender. This keeps the road splash from the front tires from getting out of the fender, and away from the door.
A softer rubber material probably would have made this all a lot easier.
