Default Hood Bumper

I need to replace the 2 Front Hood Bumpers that sit on top of the adjustment bolts that the front of the hood sits on when it is closed.

Round base with a cone shape top, about a 1/2" tall.

I checked all of my sources for part numbers and they are not listed. They aren’t even in the illustrations of the parts. Nowhere does it show the front hood bumpers. It shows the rear ones but those are completely different. It doesn't even appear on the Dealer computer.

Does anyone know of the Part Number? Or what could be used in it's place?

I have/had the part number for the 10mm somewhere, but the availability is almost nill. Another quick solution is to go to your local hardware store and pick up a rubber boot that fits under a chair/table leg and fit it over the existing stud.
