P500 Door Bumpers

[William]

Somehow my passengers keep knocking off my rubber door bumpers and I have to buy more. This is my first attempt at securing them. Just cut a notch and zip tied them. I'm thinking a really small bolt washers and nut would do best though. I think I will drill a hole and run the zip tie through it next time instead of cutting notches. The net is off so the door is sagging a little in the pic.

Don't mean to sound derogatory at all but what exactly does this accomplish? Are your doors rattling or something? You know there are two positions to the door latches right? Mine don't rattle when fully seated.

William is not the only one who has careless passengers knocking his door bumpers off and losing them. Don't ask me how I know...Honda charges almost $5 each plus tax and they are only about 50cents cheaper than that on Amazon.

Honda part number I think is 77206-GFO-000 $4.12 Each at Rocky Mountain ATV Plus Freight.(Not a Deal)

In the op it states passengers keep knocking them off. I have lost 4 or 5 rubbers... getting annoying. No rattle, just trying to keep them from getting lost...

Looked at my doors and can't see where the bumpers do much, kinda like Trigger said. In any case, I zip tied mine so they can't fall off, went through the middle of the rubber bumper where there is already a small hole with a small electrical zip tie. I'm not one of those millionaires someone on this forum alluded to, can't afford buying a bunch of bumpers. However, I did have a million when I bought the P500, now I'm on food stamps after buying all the accessories! LOL

You just reminded me to "keep it simple stupid".... gonna swap to your way of zip tying it through the middle so I don't have to cut them or drill them... without them my door rattles...

What's funny is that when I saw this post I thought they were something you added. Now I'm realizing that these came stock on the machine? I can't remember ever seeing them on mine, I'll have to look. Mine were probably gone when I got it.

Well what do you know, I have one on each side in the lower position and neither of the uppers. I've had these doors and all hardware off a couple of times and never even knew they were supposed to be there. Sorry William, thought it was one of those crazy things that bugged one and not the rest.
