The rubber bumper is the same one used at the upper windscreen frame to steady side curtains. A tiny chrome plated steel bracket is fixed to the windscreen frame on each side of the car with a single screw.

I had a mold made years ago and many parts were made. I don’t have them for sale though. My excess went to some shops and they use them in restorations. They were not cheap to recreate in exact detail.

Do you by chance have a picture of the rubber bumper mounted on the upper windscreen frame to steady the side curtains?
