both of mine are missing...  >:(

I don't wanna pay ten bucks for two rubbery things.. if I find an alternative ill post about it..


I was just putting things away and noticed something that might make a good alternative if you can figure out a way to turn it into a loop. COAX cable! if you can find a way to keep it together. and a little bit of black silicon for making it water-tight, IT actually would look pretty good and its also thick, and weather proof. I'll keep playing with it, to see what I come up with...

picture added, if you can get it to loop perfectly. [I couldn't but maybe someone has an idea]

Ron Ayers has the OEM "dampers" as they call them, for $4.74 each, part #34288-01D20.
