like ogre says, inform us as to what you have there.
new door rubber is a common problem with the door latch not catching on the secondary part. the rubber is fairly hard from some manufacturers and doesn't let the door close tight enough because the rubber won't compress enough. check to see if the latch is actually making it to the secondary position and if not then remove the rubber and set the door up to latch properly. re-install thr rubber and if it is keeping the door slightly open then it is a rubber issue. try sofseal for some squishy seals.
