What if new weatherstrip still leaks at the corners?

Documented on the Ford F-150 build

Corners are common trouble spots.

Full Answer

Corners are common trouble spots. Ensure the seal is properly trimmed and seated, use heat to form corners if needed, and apply adhesive liberally at corner transitions. If leaks persist, check for underlying rust, bent flange, or misalignment and address those issues.
