Bonnet rubber anti rattle plugs & door mirrors.

Post by dorsetdave »

I'm not sure what these things are actually called but if you lift the bonnet there are four (two each side) rubber"things" that sit where the wing joins the inner wing. The idea is to stop the bonnet rattling but there are two missing on my CD so it rattles. What are these things called and do they fit other models? With this information I can go a hunting.
Also is there a name for those triangular trim items that sit inside the car covering the door mirror fittings? Again it's my CD, the near side one is cracked.
Thanks for looking.

The interior door mirror covers should pop up on ebay quite regularly.

As for those rubbers - I would call them the bonnet bump stops.
Probably on any similar age vauxhall in the local salvage yard.

What colour is your interior Dave? I have a load of Cavalier spares in the garage, mainly light cream coloured from my old LS. Think I have a pair of wing mirror gusset trim pieces (triangular trim pieces) about somewhere.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Hello Cavalier 342.
My CD has black trim along the top of the doors and the triangular mirror panels. If I could get one of a different colour I can change it using a product that I have used before from Rainbow Paints on the Ferndown Industrial Estate.
My CD has electric mirrors unlike my LS which has a remote lever to adjust the mirror position. If you could help that would be great and I do appreciate your kind offer. I'm at St. Leonards, are you somewhere near here?

Robsey thanks for the suggestion. I'm afraid that scrapyards that have older vehicles are a bit thin on the ground around here. There is one out at Shaftesbury which may be able to help so I will have a go there.
Thanks again.

I'll take a look at some point but my mirror gusset covers were for a manual mirror model, so won't fit your CD unfortunately.
