Door Rubber Bumpers

So I'm presuming that these go into the tiny hole directly below the striker position as shown on the attached photo - am I correct? So what's the secret to getting them in please! Thanks

Yes you right they go in that small hole. As for how you get them in, I'm at a complete loss. I did manage to get one side in after a serious amount of effort. The other side no matter how I do it it just won't go in, to the point that have broken two. So at the moment I have given up sorry to say.

OK thanks for confirming the location. I've had the same frustrated experience which is why I started to doubt it was the correct hole. Perhaps the ones currently provided by suppliers are not the original factory design and are somewhat oversized? Unless someone can give us the correct technique. I've tried soaking them in boiling water to soften them but still no success trying to push them in.

Washing up liquid or 3-in-1 oil ... patience, gentle persuasion with a small, pointed, thin and BLUNT object ... it can be done!

I love it when someone says that! It usually means it will never happen for me...............

I just used the technique advised by Mike - I poked it in with a little screwdriver in about 30 secs. Maybe got lucky?

OK will try that. Thanks all.
