These little guys, well, they really just do one thing – they cushion the impact between body panels, mostly on things like bumpers, hoods, and trunk lids. They're usually made of a pretty dense rubber or plastic. They aren’t complicated pieces, but they do a valuable job. Think of it like this: your car’s body panels are pretty strong, but they’re still metal. Without something to absorb a little shock, even a minor fender bender can cause a lot of damage, denting and warping things. The Bounce Buffer sits between those panels and acts like a shield, spreading out the force of an impact. It’s usually positioned where panels meet or where they’re close to something solid like the frame. You’ll find them in a lot of different places, depending on the car model. Honestly, they're often overlooked until something does happen. But they can save you a good bit of money in repair costs. A small bump that normally would dent a panel might just compress the buffer instead. You’ll notice if one is missing or badly deteriorated—you’ll likely get a rattling sound from that area, or see visible damage after even a minor contact. They're a cheap part to replace, and preventative maintenance is key. We carry a lot of them at Fixparts Online, and finding the right one for your car is pretty easy with the parts finder. Stand out from the crowd: Bounce Buffer (MPN 1J0721381) comes with a 12-month warranty!
