Hardtop stops?
- Thread starter JINGLE
- Start date
Theyre just rubber tubes, that go over the bump stop,, you will be lucky to find some OEM ones, so might pay to get some tube off ebay, you just need to measure the diameter of the stop so the internal of the tube is correct (You can see this when you open the boot), they are from memory about 5mm thick, but someone might be able to say exactly what size
Is this what you mean Jingle ?
A couple of years back I had some hard polyurethane pipe knocking about in the garage which looked as if it may just fit over the small stops on the boot lid hinges. With the help of some GT85 spray I managed to 'persuade' it over the stops and trimmed off the excess with a sharp blade. The boot lid comes to rest vertically a little more gently now and the gap is a much healthier 10mm or so

That’s exactly it! Although I didn’t use them last year, after hearing a horror story of somebody’s rear screen shattering when the lid hot the glass I want to be prepared this year!!
I’ll see what I can find. Thanks
If you've ever wall mounted a TV the kit usually includes plastic spacers like that....

Hi Jingle - I have a lathe and it should not be hard to turn some of these out from HDPE or similar (or even brass if you want to be bling like paullyjay ) - I'll see what I have over the weekend, if I can turn somthing up you can have it for the price of postage if you like?
Would be helpfull if anyome can confirm the external dimension on an original part if they can?
Cheers
