Rubber strip for top of rear bumper?

Post by jonlee815 »

I just purchased an 05 vibe, and the area on top of the rear bumper by the trunk has a few scratches on it from loading and unloading cargo. Is there such a thing as a rubber strip that goes on top of the bumper to protect it? If so, should I order it online, or just hit up my local dealer? Thanks.

There sure is such a thing! It's called a rear bumper (or fascia) protector. There's actually a brand new GM one for 2003 - 2008 Vibes on eBay right now. It's $60.99 including shipping.

I bought one of these for my 05 I had the one ENVY sent you when I bought the car but I still had scratches. When I got my bumper cover repainted due to an accident I installed this one. It perfectly protects the bumper ledge from sliding stuff in and out.Available only from a Toyota dealership for Matrix and cannot provide the part number, the paint shop did the research for me...

Just bought the same one BadBrew pictured above for just over $30 including shipping from trdsparks. Lemme find the addy...Part # 00016-12010 http://www.trdsparks.com/displ...=2126I wouldn't hesitate doing business with again either. Their prices are some of the best I've found, their communication was top notch, and the item was shipped FedEx with a provided tracking number. Next time I need ANYTHING Toyota/TRD I know where I'll be buying it from.

How do these go on the bumper, is it just double sided tape?

So glad to see this thread. My rear bumper has a few minor scratches from cargo as well. Definitely need to get one of these bad boys!
