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.

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


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?

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.

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.
