Door rubbers

Installed new rubbers about 4 weeks ago. The doors at the bottom are now bulging out. They have not got any better over the month with the doors closed. Is there a way of softening them so the doors close better....

Are the hinges tight enough Maybe bottom hinge slipped a bit?

The hinge end is good, it’s bulging at the rear bottom section of the door. The top lines up, and the doors aligned well prior to rubbers being installed. I was thinking a heat gun may help??

The rare spares stuff helped a bit for me. Were they Scott Drake rubbers?
Some of theirs are terrible, but also one of the drake ones I bought had the Drake sticker over the top of the Daniel Carpenter sticker. The Daniel Carpenter rubbers seemed to be softer - at least back at the time I was buying mine.

get Daniel Carpenter rubbers and you will have no problem.
I had the same issue when finishing my FB.
Shit Scott Drake hard rubbers. Threw them in the bin and got the others .
All good.
