Rubber Spacers / Bumper
Re: Rubber Spacers / Bumper
Most of mine are missing or are going to be. The rubber has gotten brittle from the heat and starting to crack.

That bumper design and placement does not impress me for a number of reasons.
Again, I swear there is ONE design engineer at Cobalt who nobody wants to call out for his occasional dumb designs and yet these pieces continue to make it into production. Waste basket anyone?

Re: Rubber Spacers / Bumper
Yeah, I looked at some of the car bumpers and they are soild molded into the bolt instead of a slip-on cap which can crack and fall off.

Roger that.
Yes, the closest thing I saw was the bumper stop on one of my doors. Maybe they make them in larger sizes?
Lowes always has a good aisle with drawers of these kinds of things. So does tractor supply.

Re: Rubber Spacers / Bumper
My go-to for odd hardware like this has usually been McMaster-Carr. Often, I can find something that works better than what I'm trying to fix. A quick search found:

Spacers received, installed, and adjusted last weekend. Looked like OEM Replacements.

Re: Rubber Spacers / Bumper
They were all touching except two, one on the starboard side. That side is of course the walk trough which needed it most. The other one was under the wet storage which was about a 1/4" low.

If you could not have found them, driller, that versi-mold product I used in my anchor locker would also have worked well. The rubber bumper I made turned out well.
