Door rebound pads???

PostPost by: nomad » Thu Nov 28, 2024 1:55 pm

Is there a source for the foam door rebound pads for an S1/S2. I'm agonizing over what to fit. Standard open cell foam will become a big sponge in the rain.

Hello Kurt
I installed a radiator hose instead of the foam. Symbolically shown in black in the picture.
I screwed it to the door.
I drilled a hole through the hose crosswise, drilled a larger hole in the outside and screwed it straight through. Don't ask me about the diameter because it was a long time ago. I think it was about 30mm. I chose it a little too big, but it works very well and the doors opens enough. There is no risk of damage and I am still very happy with it as it is. The big advantage is that no water or dirt collects.
Greetings Urs

Thanks! Good idea and it isn't a big sponge!
