Seems like I'm needing a bit of rubber and some help sorting it out. I'm looking for verification of the proper types for both door and hood bumpers. The door bumpers that are available list two types as OEM for the GS, one is solid with rounded corners and has two attachment posts, the other is a split square with a single attachment bar. Which one is it?
The hood bumpers available are very different from the three I have currently. I'm trying to find a fourth but the only visual match is this one...

I'm thinking someone swapped what should have been in there for this type, or what's out there listed as OEM is incorrect. Any input appreciated. Thanks.

Bbb,
The split square style is what you need for the door bumpers.
I finally found the correct hood bumpers after buying every thing out there.
I'll have to check my receipt pile to make sure I recall who the right ones were purchased from.
It was Fusick, Ames or Steele.

Here's a photo that shows the difference between the correct and incorrect hood to fender rubber bumpers. Obviously, the wrong one is too thick. Unfortunately, I can't tell you where I bought either one. Mark will have to dig in his paperwork file.

Thanks Gentlemen, looks like Steele carries these. That's a great source I did not know about. Really appreciate the info.
