Aftermarket Wagon Rear Bumper Fillers

Did a search and could not find any results of anyone using them. If anyone has any input I would really appreciate it.

Here is what I have for current links:

They all look like they came from the same source, so the difference is really price/shipping and customer service.

The ones on our wagon are turning to dust every time I start the thing. Rumpity... Rumpity.

Mike,
The ones that I initially were aware of, were the ones from Replica Plastics. But as you mentioned, it's most likely one source that makes them.
They ain't cheap either. Be grateful that Pontiac and Chevy wagons use the same rear fillers. I would assume that nobody repops the Oldsmobile and Buick fillers...but I might be wrong..

I recently suggested them to another member. I would've liked to have heard his feedback regarding the fit and quality.

I had to buy a set for my wagon but as strange as it sounds I cant remember if it was for the front or rear. I will say Mikes Montes was the cheapest place that had them. They were really well made and fit like factory.

Mich,
Maybe it was for the fronts. I couldn't find a listing for the rears on Mike's site...it doesn't mean he doesn't have them, or can't get them.

I just sent Mike an email to confirm. I have had good success buying from him in the past.

Looks like nice ABS stuff here: http://www.plasticpartsinc.com/chevrolet.html

Called them and advised that their eBay listing for 2/4 door cars lists the wagon for the rear - which as we know is wrong.

Plastic Parts doesn't seem to indicate rear fillers for a Malibu wagon. Well, at least according to their website.

Jack,
You might be right. Could have been the fronts. Its been close to a year so Im not really sure. I will say Mikes prices were better than the company that makes them. I asked him why and he said he buys big volume so he can sell them at a good price. I would call him just to ask if he stocks them.

Mike doesn't carry the rear wagon fillers.

Well, I guess that narrows the search somewhat. It now depends who'll give you the best price.
