If you are referring to the plastic on the striker pin, then I haven't seen anything different.

It sounds like you just need to move the striker pin outward slightly. But make sure that it's centered in the latch area of the door.

Are your door seals new? With my old door seals, I can close the door pretty easily. Make sure that the latches are lubed too.

What kind of plastic did you use.
I've been using PEX tubing over the stickers an have had no issues.
Actually smoother to close.
As 6872xtc mentioned are the seals new?
How are the actual stickers themselves.
Could be the hinges are worn out and sagging,
anyway of posting pics of how the Body lines are as well as the strikers themselves.

What size/diameter PEX did you use on the strikers?

1/2" PEX worked awesome for my doors on my crew cab and my K5.

I need to research to see if the PEX will work with the tailgate torsion bar bolts that the hook end connects to.
