So did you figure this one out Chris? I'm thinking of new door rubber, and

I have noticed this problem with my van since I converted to non-chrome
seals. I suspect there is a stop peg in the lower pivot assembly that can be
ground off. I will have to check tomorrow as I have not installed the
passenger door seal stuff yet.
