You know, if there is a will there is a way. If you are needing to put a rubber bumper in that hole, you could always look at options for Fuel Door Bumpers.

You need it to securely fit in the hole and something like this could work!

Not made anymore? No problem. Just go test drive some '03s and '04s and 'inspect' the liftgate.

 

Can't find the part you need? Just steal it from someone else!

What a scumbag.

 

I'm about 100% sure he was kidding

 

Yes, I was kidding.... my earlier post in this thread showed I had actually ordered the Expedition parts to see if they would work. Whoosh....

 

Woosh indeed. Sorry for the misunderstanding

 

Can some one just measure one so we can maybe find those things I am sure that bumper is used for something else...

 

Neither my dads 2001 nor my 2002 have these little bumpers. His does have the plastic covering but my 02 doesn't have the protective over on the barn doors.

 

I went to NAPA and checked what they had available. Found these and thought I would give them a try. Turned out they were almost the exact right size, I just had to trim the insert tab to get them to fit the hole.

After instillation I closed the window and everything looks really good. And for $7.00 for a bag of 6, we just cant lose.

I will keep an eye on how this performs and update the thread with my results.

Good luck and feel free to let me know what you think.

Rick that's great! Thanks for the effort on finding these little gems, much better pricing then the factory option.

 

This thread made me look. Now I notice I am missing one of those rubber things. Doh! Good find on the Napa parts!

 

I stopped by napa and picked up a bag. Now I just have to trim them down...

 

Google, where is the closest Napa auto parts?


Reps sent Sounnder!

 

You'll need to do this to yours btw, paint is gone and its to the fiberglass on the barn doors.

 

Damnit... Guess that's going to be my first "mod".
