86 Roadster - Lower Door rubber bumper ?

[Peter M.]

I am missing a small rubber bumper on the bottom of my driver's door for my 1986 roadster. Here are a couple of photos of the rubber bumper on the passenger side door.

Does anyone know if there is a part number for this bumper or where I might locate one?

Any help will be most appreciated.

I THINK the part number was GM #14030512. If this is not the part number, then I do not think the part was ever available in SERVICE.

This part is GM-discontinued but your local dealer might be able to find you some in other dealer inventory.

Thank you, Joe.

I'll try to track it down with the part # you provided.

Further research has revealed that the correct part number for this window bumper is GM #2206-3270.

Anyone happen to have one they might sell or know where I might find one? Here is a diagram from a 1986 Service Manual illustrating the part:

Hey Peter, I have on in my desk drawer. It's not exactly the right one, but should work and look fine when inspecting the door from the outside at the bottom. If you can use it, I'll send it to ya !

Thank you very much, Tom. You are ALWAYS such a great help with the restoration and maintenance of these old Corvettes. I really appreciate what you do for us all.

I'll send you a few dollars for postage in tomorrow's mail.

There is a guy near the airport in Charlotte that parts out C-4 as a specialty. Bob Young has been there and can give you the contact info. Nice guy and a big ebay advertiser. Search Corvette Charlotte and you will find 2000 items listed.

As far as Corvettes are concerned, GM #22063270 is cataloged by GM as a front door side window stop. I don't understand what a part in the location you originally pictured has to do with the side window component of the door.

Joe, his original pictures shows the bottom side of the door where this bumper pushes through. The pad portion of the stop is inside the door. I too thought that in the original picture the part was an external part on the bottom of the door. It is inside the door.

I don't want any money for the part. Just your address. PM it to me today and I'll send it.

OK, I understand now. The stop, itself, is located inside the door and the external part is just the "barb" of the stop which retains it. As a matter of fact, I could not figure out originally why there needed to be a bumper at that location for ANY reason. So, this stop is apparently designed to limit/cushion the lower travel of the side window.

Thanks, Jimmy. I really need to get over there and check that place out.
