I stepped the cut on the door so I could hammer one side to the other,
if I remember I knocked the inside up and in then bent the outer skin over the inner ( if that makes sense ) then a thick bead of good old silicone pressed in with a wet finger, ??!!??

I cut the inner arch away and but some rubber edging / sleeve over the sharp edge, but you could use some old car door rubber seal it might help keep some of the crud out, as for the seal strip that's on the door it's in the bin ;-)

No more than it did before I fitted the arches, it's the inner main door seal that supposed to stop the water,
all the seal on the door dose is keep the inner arch clean for you passengers to get in and out without getting crud on them ??

If you're on about the gap that you've now created between the inner and outer of the door panels, I usually fill them with fibreglass then a skim of p40 then p38. Finish off with paint.

How big is the gap ???
If its small just use stickaflex or Wurth bond and seal

Depending how big the gap is,either use tiger seal for small gap or expanding foam(waterproof one) and then a smear of tiger seal over foam to finish: )
