Bofn Racing Tailgate Latch Bumper Stop for Toyota/Lexus — Direct-Fit Cushion, Reduces Rattle

Bofn Racing tailgate latch bumper stop — a direct-fit replacement cushion that stops rattles and cushions the tailgate on select Toyota models.

If your tailgate or rear door on a Toyota FJ Cruiser, Prado, RAV4, or Lexus GX is making noise, sitting unevenly, or feels loose, this bumper striker cushion restores the original fit and quiet. Crafted to match factory dimensions, the bumper stop installs on the door-frame limiter to absorb impacts, prevent metal-on-metal contact, and reduce vibration. It’s a low-cost repair that addresses worn or missing bumpers without modifying the vehicle.

How does this bumper stop reduce tailgate noise?

The bumper stop acts as a soft cushion between the tailgate and the door frame, absorbing shocks and preventing direct contact that causes rattles. Replacing a worn or cracked factory bumper with this part restores the intended spacing and damping.

• Direct-fit design mirrors original bumper shape and size for accurate spacing.
• Resilient material compresses to dissipate vibration and impact energy.
• Prevents metal-to-metal contact that produces buzzing or knocking sounds.

Will this fit my Toyota or Lexus model?

This bumper stop is made as a compatible replacement for multiple Toyota and Lexus rear doors and tailgates. It fits specified model years where the original bumper shares the same mounting and shape, providing a reliable match for common applications.

• Compatible with Toyota FJ Cruiser (2007–2021).
• Fits Toyota Prado 120 and 150 series (approx. 2003–2020).
• Works with Toyota RAV4 models sold before 2013 (2006–2012 commonly).
• Also compatible with Lexus GX460 and GX470 rear tailgate/latch areas.

How simple is installation and what tools are needed?

Installation is straightforward and intended as a quick, do-it-yourself fix. The bumper replaces the factory stop on the door-frame limiter and typically snaps or fits into place without drilling or cutting.

• Direct replacement — aligns with existing mounting location on the door frame.
• No special tools required for most installs; a screwdriver or trim tool may help.
• Can be completed in minutes — remove old bumper, press new bumper into place.

How durable is this replacement compared with the original?

The part is engineered to replicate the original appearance and function while offering durable performance. It resists cracking and deformation under typical use, restoring the tailgate’s proper seating and reducing the chance of recurring noise.

• Manufactured to match OEM fit and mounting geometry for long-term reliability.
• Material chosen to withstand repeated compression and weather exposure.
• Prevents sinking or deformation that develops as factory bumpers age.

Who is this for: Drivers who own compatible Toyota or Lexus SUVs and want an easy, affordable way to fix a rattling, misaligned, or damaged tailgate bumper. It’s ideal for DIY owners, technicians doing quick panel repairs, and anyone restoring a vehicle to quieter, factory-like function without expensive parts or bodywork.
