Molding or weatherstripping? If you mean weatherstripping then it's pretty normal for that to be pretty hard to shut the door with the window up when new. I have the same issue, and I just never roll the windows up or down with the door closed as it's still too tight.
It took several weeks of having the windows fully up and closed before I could even roll them up and close the door. Now they still are breaking in after nearly a year because I leave the windows open in the garage. If you want it to break in faster always leave the windows rolled up when parked and it will eventually compress and work.
