I checked with Bestop and this was their response to your 2-piece doors leaking:

You will want to 'train' the weather stripping where to go by manually placing it where it needs to go for a few days. Lastly, the doors will require some bending in to match the curvature of the Jeep. Grab the door and bend it in as needed to better fit to the Jeep body. when you have the positioning set, you cut that tail off of the weather stripping. Until you cut it off, and if you have it on the inside of your vehicle, the groove in the weather stripping is going to lead water straight into the vehicle.
