Rubber strip for top of rear bumper?

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!

Anybody out there with an actual pic of their ride showing this bumper protector installed? We'll need one for juniors Vibe which the previous owner really abused
