Front Bumper Top Rubber has ripples or waves. Any clue what causes this and is there a way to remove the ripples?

The metal inside the rubber is rusting away. Nothing you can do about it. Time to buy a new one from 914rubber.com

agree.gif as well. But I must point out that you have a great looking car. It deserves a new bumper top from 914rubber.com. They won't break the bank, and the materials are far superior to original. Stainless steel core, so the ripples will never happen again.

I agree. Sell your OK bumper tops and buy new ones from 914rubber. You will make three people happy.

Thanks everybody I'm good with that and will go with getting new rubber.

Buy a new one from 914rubber.com, and store it until the one on your car rusts bad enough to start coming off.

I have seen them on the web, but of course, I can't remember anything specific....someone makes fiberglass bumper tops. I do remember that they looked really nice. I would also assume if you bump, you break.

Just did my Income Taxes and came out in good shape so when I get my Return in a few weeks I'll order the replacement Top. The Rear looks good just need the front top.
