I had some things I did in addition to your video that I thought might be useful to share with a larger audience, who may not read what I've posted in my build thread.
I hope you're OK with me copy and pasting the below from my build thread here for others to see. Maybe it will help them.
Also,

@ JZiggy
if either of you need a new bumper or two for your personal vehicles let me know and I will drop a couple in the mail for you, free of charge since you did the legwork on figuring this rebuild/mod out. I have extras from the junkyard since I didn't need to use any for experimenting. Let me know if you want any! |
Hey
@
Unner
this is great info! The bumpers do indeed wear out and the repair kit doesn't address the problem. I think you have a creative solution to it.
Just this past weekend I had to replace the bumpers on my 1st gen but it's easier because the stopper rod isn't permanently connected to the hinge so a new one can just slide on.
I'd be happy to take you up on the offer for some harvested bumpers -- I do need one for my 99 driver's side! Please keep me in mind as well if you find decent cores at the junkyard as I find myself rebuilding these for forum members and friends on occasion.
