  That’s a bit of a jury rigged setup. I would replace the rubber with a starboard piece. 

  
  

  Alternately, it just looks like a 1” door bumper from a patio door. You could try this:

  Why does there really need to be the rubber piece?

  In this case looks like it's due to the position and design of the hinges. They set the door a bit away from the wall. The rubber bumper makes the door exactly parallel to the wall. If it wasn't there you won't get a flush connection with the snap.

  Newer Rinkers used this style of catch.

  I've said it before and I'll say it again. They never should have strayed from the stepped hinge design like on our 2000 model 270. You just lifted and swung to either open or closed position and it dropped down and locked. No barrel bolt to break or catch to wear out. Costly I guess.
