Door latch rubber vibration isolator??

Does anyone know if there is a replacement for the rubber inside the door latch?

It is behind the bear claw and catches the larger diameter of the door striker.

I noticed mine are deteriorated on my 92.

Would be nice made out of a delrin type product, maybe it would last longer.

Not sure if Delrin would work for this spot. Probably too hard. It looks almost like the door bumper rubber. I agree the cover on the claw would benefit from being delrin though.

Hello,

Sorry. Just to clarify, the mustang one's wouldn't fit either? I see above the Doorman ones didnt work. Too thick? Looking to see if this makes a difference on my 1987.
