Rubber Bumpers

Few items are as easy to install and as affordable as rubber bumpers.  But don’t let that fool you!  These small parts perform a critical function by assuring proper fit and alignment of major components, prevent impact damage and add to the appearance of a detailed car.

 

1) Hood bumpers are necessary for proper hood fit. Note the slot in your fender and matching anchor on rubber bumper.

2) Just slide the bumper anchors through "key hole" into slot, and you’re finished.

3) Adjustable hood bumpers cushion the impact of the hood when it is shut. Old, flat and cracked pieces can cause damage to your hood.

4) It takes only a second to install new rubber cushions. Be sure your hood is already adjusted to the proper height for your new rubber parts.

5) To install door bumpers, align arrowhead-type anchors with holes in door and push in with thumb.

» Note: It may be necessary to carefully insert a blunt, round object in the bumper hole. This will allow you to put enough pressure on the anchor heads to pop them through the holes. Be careful not to tear the rubber. Water or Windex will help lubricate the part.

6) The little rubber "stoppers" or bumpers for the glove box lids, console lids, license plate, brackets, etc. are easy to change. They prevent rattles and damage from constant opening and closing.

7) Trunk bumpers become flattened, cracked and hardened with age. To install new ones, just pop out the old unit with a screwdriver; line up the anchor tip with factory hole, and push.

8) With a little water or Windex for lubricant, thumb pressure is all you will need to install new trunk bumpers.
