I found 4 of these "bumpers" in a small package inside a Universal Joint box (w/U-Joint in it), amongst the Surprise box of items received with the project car 3 years ago. They're too tall be the Fuel Cap Door Bumpers, for my '73 C3 anyway. Anyone know?

TIA.
Steve

Those are rear storage compartment door bumpers.

Hi Steve,
I think tbtr is correct but they're reproductions, the configuration is slightly different than the originals.
There are only 4 because the 3rd door, for the battery compartment, uses a long foam strip as a seal so no bumpers are needed.
Regards,
Alan

Thanks guys. I did install a new storage compartment Frame, Doors w/carpet, and door Hardware; including Bumpers. But the Door Bumpers I got were shorter than these. So I thought these went to some far off area I had yet to discover.

Much appreciated.
Steve
