Rubber grommet in door question

The rubber grommets at the bottom of my door that the window regulator bottoms out on are dry rotted. I can't find any with the little retention nub at my local hardware store.

Does anyone know where I can get two of them? I want to replace them while the doors are torn apart. I checked GMC Pauls and didn't see any listed but I could have easily overlooked them.

Thanks.

Yes, thank you! Those look thicker than the ones there now but they are 43 years old and dry rotted. Thanks for the help, if I would have been looking for "window bumpers" I probably would have found them.

Re: Rubber grommet in door question

Update......So I order those window bumpers which are clearly categorized on their website. What they sent me were bumpers for RS Camaro headlight doors. I called to try to get the correct bumpers and they don't even sell them.

The part was $4.25 for 4 and $7.43 to ship. They wouldn't refund my shipping and said they would, "hook me up with shipping next time I ordered something". Well there won't be a next time. The guy flat out admitted that their website is wrong.

First time I've ever disputed a CC charge and Citibank credited me the full $11.68. It's not the money, it's the principle and I won't ever order from these guys again.

This isn't on you either NC67Chev, just warning others before they order anything from them.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience with them. I've always had good dealings with them, so I thought I was giving you a good referral. I'm sorry!

Re: Rubber grommet in door question

Again, no need to apologize. When he asked what I was looking for I told him and he said, "it looks like we don't even carry those". I told him they may want to fix it on their website.
He wasn't rude and I didn't argue with him but I don't get why I have to eat shipping for their mistake.

All companies do this too but these could have literally been shipped in an envelope and a stamp. $1.30 at most. They were in a big bubble mailer that still probably wasn't over $3.50 to ship. I love shipping and "handling".

I guess I'll keep looking. I do appreciate your help!
