Mutt's37Buick Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'm working to buy bumpers for the doors for the 37 Roadmaster I'm restoring.Each door has two rubber bumpers mounted to the center post. One is above the latch and one below.They are about 1.5" x 1.5" with an angle outward.They do not have screws so I assume the press into holes.1) Has anyone seen bumpers like these on other Buicks?2) The suppliers I've checked do not seem to have equivalent, does anyone know where I can source?3) Are there other bumpers that are correct for this location?See pictures.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are from a different car.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Maybe the ones on your car have deformed from age, pressure of keeping the door closed, and heat of storage, and might have originally been in a shape similar to one of the examples?Also, I have not been able to get to where my '37 Roadmaster 80C is stored, but when I do, I'll get some photos of the trunk weathestrip for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
