So last night I took off my rear tire along with the carrier and when I was messing with the rear door I noticed that there is a small rubber....bumper that needs to be replaced. If you open your rear door, on the door there is a sideways U. I need a new Rubber pad that goes within the U. Any idea what it is called or a part number?
Thanks
Oh or if you can think of any other item that can be used in its place

Not sure which piece your talking about.

Maybe this will help.

It might be part 28. It is a rubber...bumper that fits inside #4. Do you know what #28 is?

#28 is a drain plug... I don't know of anything that goes inside #4.

I think it might be 52850562AB but am not positive. Guess I will be making some calls tomorrow and find out how much it is.

I think I might have to buy a new #4 in order to get the rubber bumper that goes inside. Perhaps I will see if I can make something for it...that might be the way I go, lol.
Thanks Daspes!

Went out and looked at my KJ, and I see the piece you are talking about but it is not shown on the Parts Fiche...

However, I did find part # 04520289 (SPACER, Door Latch Strike) that is listed, but not pictured... Maybe?

I did some searches on that Part# and it looks like that is the.....shackle that is on the frame...or perhaps I should say that loop that the door latches to?
Maybe I just need to adjust that to pull the door closer....maybe. There is a pretty good gap there, I mean if I look in the seam I can easily see the latch between the swing gate and the tail light.
