I was supposed to be fitting these today but the morning ran away and then it was too warm to be playing with glue.
So I trial fitted them "dry" and can barely shut the doors!
Where can I get seals that are the correct section and softness?
These came via Brickwerks iirc, supposed to be best quality but they were glued on after paint job #1 and so are now used and non returnable...

Re: Cab door seals...
The guy that used to be known for his top quality rubber seals was 'Volkswagen Emporium'. He often had a stand at shows, and I remember thinking his stuff was the real deal. Not sure it is now of course, as that was 5-10 years ago. I think the brand he sells is 'Vewib'.
PS. Yep. Check out his webshop. Seems refreshingly old-school and genuine. Fingers crossed the stuff is still what it used to be..

Re: Cab door seals...
Mine are stubborn - we have found it easier to open window slightly to help - else its SLAM - and I always have to tell new passengers this.
had the van 6 years now and although its a bit easier, its still the same.
I also need to push the door slightly before pulling the release trigger as I feel it's under too much strain.
Don't know source of mine, were on when I bought it (German source I'd expect).
good thing is though - it's obviously very water tight and ideal for our 'river wading' adventures - just have to reach down and stick my fingers in and block those stupid holes in the foot step.

Re: Cab door seals...
These were the so-called Vewib seals from Chris at VW Emporium afaik, tailgate one is also problematic, but tailgate was swapped and it's nothing like as good a fit as the original anyway 
. Both sliding doors and fixed glass seals are all fine.
Cab doors are as James says: they pop open and it feels very hard on the release, like firing an air rifle (been doing a bit of that recently, "bar-steward" rats)
