The rubber top fits nicely; but it appears there is an extra stud in the center with no hole to go through. What am I missing here ? Should the stud be capped ?

QUOTE(jim_hoyland @ Oct 18 2020, 03:48 PM)  Yes it’s a backdate. It was mentioned earlier that the top has a contious internal metal support, so a backdated bumper won’t need a support. I’ll slide aplastic thread protector on it. While test fitting, it doesn’t show much Well ..they all had/have a continuous internal metal support, what changed IIRC was the material (from mild steel to stainless). The reason for the Tab/support was that the void in the bumper center that provided for the plate mount & lights, allowed for the top section to deflect if for instance someone leaned on it while storing items in the trunk |
