Default 2 rubber bumpers for top storage in '99 coupe ?

There are 2 rubber or plastic (?) end caps on the top storage component in the back of my coupe. One of mine is missing, the other worn through. Anybody got a part number or source for these little gems ?? I want to store my roof panel but I don't want scratches. My panel is in mint shape, I'd like to keep it that way.

Bought a pair from Corvette Central a few years ago.

You can also use a couple of short pieces of vacuum line hose.

Contact Mark@Vettenuts, he's a vendor here who sells used parts.

Thank you. Almost $18 total inc S/H from CC so I PM'd Mark and see what he can do.

Let us know how it works out please. Actually the vacuum hose idea sounds pretty good too. Although you wouldn't win the Concours, it would probably be a lot more substantial than the factory piece. Bet ya could find a slick little end cap for the hose too..Hmmm $18. saved. Might be a plan...!

Others have posted to just go to Lowes and get rubber stoppers in the misc. hardware section.
