Need silicon bumpers for Canadian bug shield, but where?

[scott78945]

I installed my Canadian bug shield about 2 weeks ago. Ever since then I noticed that when I am going about 70mph it vibrates VERY badly and you can hear it in the cabin. I am looking to put a couple of extra bumpers on to hopefully minimize the vibration but where can I find them? Would an AutoZone have something like this? Can I use rubber or anything else in case I can't find them?

just go to walmart or home depot or somewhere like that and find the section that they have the stick on felt pads that you use on furniture and stuff, they also usually have a bunch of different rubber pads and "bumpers" and things of assorted sizes that you should be able to use.

The felt pads won't be high enough to touch the shield and how do I know that they are safe for the paint. Here in NY we have bad winters and lots of rain so I can't really see them holding up for any length of time.

i just mean in the same section as the felt pads they have other pads some of them are larger and should work. I dont know how well they would hold up in winter tho as i know nothing of winter. winter to me is 65 degrees... and that is cold

Oh jeas, 65, don't I wish. The high the other day was 30!! In December and January 30 is a heat wave for us. I will check it out. Thanks.

I had the same issue. I just gone to the dealership and ask a guy from parts department to give me some bumps. He asked me to follow him to service area where I personally saw a bulk of those bumps. The service adviser just took a few of them and gave them to me, no money asked.

I just installed the same deflector on mine last night and guess what, I had the same vibration and buzzing from 65 on. I think I solved it today. I moved the large bumpon in the center further foward until it actualy touches the the deflector at all times just like the others. On my test drive I ran it up to 80 and I had no vibration or buzzing at all. I will drive it more later and cross my fingers.
