Very weird. as said. New rubber should make it tight. Is it possible, besides what Caso said , that you have rubber on wrong? I don't think I would elongate holes yet until re thinking and being sure all parts are correct side and right side up and so on. I have seen many doors not fit flush and have uneven gaps but not being able to have an in and out tight fit with new rubber and latch/catch , I have not seen. Just to throw it all out there...sometimes you get parts from the wrong era.
