I am installing a new hitch on my 90 Carat and am looking to replace the rear bumper rubber infills and clips. The original tailpipe was rusted off when I purchased it which had melted the rubber infill.
Not finding these part numbers at the usual vendors, does anybody know if there is a place in the US that stocks these?
255807397 - Rubber
161807806 - Clips
Also looking for a driver's side rear bumper section, not finding any used ones online.
Thanks! |

Just curious I never put mine back on after they came off do they have an actual function? _________________ 1991 Vanagon GL 2.1 AT Westfauxlia. "Frankie" Totaled https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=764510&highlight=carnage

No idea of the engineering purpose. It has saved me from dropping small items through the bumpers a couple of times. |

I had seen those sources, I can also order everything from Brickworks, was just hoping to avoid overseas shipping fees. |

I don't need them. If you want pm me your address and you can paypal me the cost of a priority shipping box, my clips are in bad shape though, not really re-usable, which is why they didn't go back on. _________________ 1991 Vanagon GL 2.1 AT Westfauxlia.

Thanks Mike, I will let you know. As of right now it looks like I am going to need to place an order with Brickwerks regardless, if so I will just spring for some new rubbers. |
