Default Interior Quarter Panels

I bought 6 rubber bumpers for the interior quarter panels, but I can't find where they install at. All the pictures I've seen, don't have them installed and I haven't found a thread on here about them. It was one of those buys where I was searching for something (the mounting screws) and I saw them and figured I needed them.

As usual, all help is appreciated!

Thanks,
Dex.

The topic has not been raised here for a while. Quarter trim panel bumper kit. The rubber "bumpers" are essentially shims that slide over the forward edge of the quarter trim panels on a convertible, before you slip the panel into the channel just inboard of the door latch. I believe the idea of them was to prevent the trim panel from rattling. I would think most cars do not have them installed anymore. You would place one or more whereever there is a gap giving you room to do the install. At most I have seen one on a panel somewhere. When installed you might just catch a glimpse of one corner of the bumper.

Well that explains why I haven't seen them in pictures! Thanks for that info! I only installed the driver's side since I'm working on the passenger's side, so I'll check for gaps.

Thanks,
Dex.
