My rubber is an inch long and is triangular. Each side of the triangle also an inch across. The rubber isn't too hard because you need to pry it into place. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 13 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 13 | I was kind of wondering about the shape also. thanks for the help i'll have my buddy that's blasting them make me a couple since he said that he has all kinds of rubber around. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 13 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 13 | just so you all know i did find door bumpers at steele rubber products p/n 60-0334-71 for $25. only place that I have found them so far. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2015 Posts: 96 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2015 Posts: 96 | Can someone post a pic of what you're talking about? It's been so long since I disassembled my Jimmy that I have forgotten a lot of the little things. Are you talking about the sissor like arms on the top of the barn doors?

Thanks, azcornman Can't post a pic, but in the pivot of that arm, there is a rubber bumper that will touch the top of the door jamb when the door closes. This rubber protects it from damage. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2015 Posts: 96 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2015 Posts: 96 | OK, I get it now. Thanks a lot. | | |
