Tailgate striker

The vinyl bushing on the striker that secures the tailgate when closing are cracked. Does anyone know if I can purchase just the vinyl bushing or do I have to purchase the bolt. large washer and bushing as a unit. I am holding the bushing together with black electric tape for the time being, but know that is only temporary. Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated. Other than the dealer, do not know where to go for the bushing or total part??

Tailgate striker

You can get the rear hatch striker bushings at most parts stores, that have a good inventory of those "Red" packaged "Help" products. They are listed as "Ford" replacements. I'd measure and match the length to be sure. What you won't find is these same bushings for the doors, but you can get the whole striker w/bushing for a price that just don't sit well, considering the part you need is just the bushing. Go Figure!
