Location: Columbus, OH | I need one or two new rubber hood stoppers. Rather than replace all the good ones with a new set, it would be nice to find one or two that look the same, or similar, to what's already on the car. Here's a picture of one of them. Anyone seen these around on any parts sites?

Location: Eastern Iowa | Years ago, I sent Steel samples of the hood bumpers for 57-58 Chryslers they reproduced them and they should be in stock, in their catalog.
The one that's pictured here is not correct for 57-58.
It resembles more the ones used on the 63-64's. |

Location: Eastern Iowa | I used to have a pretty good supply of these.
I'd carry them around to car shows and whenever I'd se a MoPar that was missing them I'd put new ones on the driver seat where he would be sure and see them!!
These are what you need, Steele made these and I got a bunch of them in return for a sample for them to go by.

Location: Columbus, OH | Thanks for tips everyone. I went ahead and bought these from Steele: https://www.steelerubber.com/hood-bumper-60-0542-42
Hopefully I just rip the old ones off, clean the old glue and rubber off, and have the new ones stick right on without hassle. |
