Busted hood bumpers - Need a DIY solution
Posted: Fri Nov 16, 2012 2:34 pm
Hey guys, the hood bumpers completely broke off like muffin tops (sorry, Seinfeld reference) and I don't like the idea of driving around without them. I'm going to order some from Courtesy but being Friday afternoon, I figure even with 3 day shipping, it won't get here till tues or wed (any quicker and it's $30-$50!!)
I just rattle canned the upper radiator support so I'd really like to find something to get me by for a few days.
My only thought would cost about the same as the bumpers plus shipping ($20+) but here it is:
Take some Autozone ES endlinks and some short nuts/bolts/washes to keep it in place. To keep the bolt head from tearing up the hood, buy a roll of thick adhesive backed weatherstripping and stick a piece on top of each endlink/bolt head.
Anyone have any better or cheaper ideas?? I always break crap on the weekend when it's a dealer only part lol!!
