Tailgate rubber bump stop

Has anyone installed the OEM bump stop on the tailgate? There is one on either side in the shape of an L. I had one break off and got a replacement at the dealership. It looks as simple as popping the fastener through the predrilled hole but the fastener is plastic. If not done right I’ll be back to square one.

thanks!

I’ve lost them also, yup the replacement will just just push in. After I lost my second one I actually cut the tab off the back and drilled it out so I put a small bolt and washer through it. Then I removed the tail lights to gain access tot he back of the holes and bolted them in. I haven’t knocked one out since.

After losing two of them, I used epoxy on the back and around the stud. So far so good.

3M double sided tape worked for me but I like the bolt idea.

I opened up the hole a little, used a snap expanding plastic nut and a stainless screw and washer. they are rock solid.
