Car Doors need Rubber Bumpers for Smooth Closing
Car doors are opened and closed countless times over the life of a vehicle, and they are not always handled gently. Repeated impact can create vibration, noise, wear, and unnecessary stress on surrounding components. That is why durable rubber bumpers play an important role in automotive applications.
At Budwig Molded Products, we manufacture high-quality thermoplastic rubber bumpers designed to absorb impact, reduce vibration, and help support smooth, consistent closing. Whether you need a standard part or a custom solution, our rubber bumpers are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, materials, and hardness levels to meet specific application requirements.
Rubber Bumpers for Automotive Applications
A well-designed rubber bumper can help cushion contact between moving parts and surrounding surfaces. In automotive applications, that can help reduce rattling, harsh contact, and repeated impact over time.
Car doors are one example, but rubber bumpers can also be used in other vehicle areas where cushioning, spacing, vibration control, or surface protection is needed.
Budwig offers rubber bumpers in multiple configurations, including:
- Round TPR rubber feet
- Square TPR rubber feet
- Rectangular TPR rubber feet
- Specialty and miscellaneous TPR bumpers
- Custom molded bumper designs
These different shapes make it possible to match the bumper more closely to the space, load, and contact requirements of the application.
Multiple Durometer Options
Hardness is an important consideration when selecting a rubber bumper. A softer material may provide more cushioning, while a harder material may be better suited for applications requiring greater firmness or durability.
Budwig’s standard stock parts are commonly produced in an 87 durometer on the Shore A scale. We can also produce custom durometers, including 73 and 64 Shore A, depending on the application.
This flexibility allows customers to choose a material hardness that better matches the amount of impact, compression, and support required.
High-Quality TPR Rubber Bumpers
Budwig specializes in TPR, or thermoplastic rubber, bumpers. Our products are manufactured using high-quality Santoprene™ thermoplastic rubber, a material known for durability, flexibility, and performance across a wide range of applications.
In addition to TPR, Budwig can also manufacture parts using materials such as polypropylene and polyethylene when project requirements call for an alternative material.
Because every application is different, having multiple material options can be especially valuable for manufacturers developing products with unique performance, environmental, or design requirements.
More Than Automotive Rubber Bumpers
While automotive applications are an excellent use for durable rubber bumpers, Budwig products are also used throughout many other industries.
Our rubber bumpers and feet can be found in applications involving:
- Electronics
- Security equipment
- Medical products
- Communications equipment
- Consumer products
- Industrial equipment
- Enclosures and housings
- Appliances and equipment
In many of these applications, rubber bumpers help provide cushioning, spacing, vibration reduction, surface protection, and improved product stability.

Frequently Asked Question
What durometer rubber bumper should I use for a car door or similar impact application?
The right durometer depends on the amount of cushioning, firmness, compression, and durability required. Softer materials generally provide more cushioning, while harder materials offer greater firmness. Budwig offers standard and custom durometer options, including 87, 73, and 64 Shore A, to help match the bumper to the application.
