Tonneau Cover Lock Rubber Plug

[JimInRadfordVA]

I loaned out my Sport Trac to my son and it came back without the rubber plug for the rear tonneau cover lock. Does anyone have a part # and/or a source for these?

I'd like to get this fixed before the freezing weather gets here.

Thanks!

Thanks! Looks like I need part 402A36.

The best online price for this part is $85!!!! Holy crap.

If anyone sees one of these in a boneyard, please snag it for me.

Thanks!

Yep! I've been looking for one myself. I refuse to pay that ridiculous price for a rubber plug.

If someone with a 3d printer could make one (and then you could skin it with a piece of rubber), they could make a lot of money

Yep, I need one too. I've seen them as high as $126 and $85 is still way too high for me. I'm missing the one up near the rear window and I rarely open that end, but it would look better (and keep the rain and dirt out of the lock) if I had one. I'm be happy with a 3D printer made one and would just paint it flat black. I even considered having swhawaii buy me a whole tonneau cover, that I saw for sale in Hawaii for $50, just to get the plug, but it seemed like too much trouble and still more than the part is worth.

I'm hoping to come across one on eBay auction that I get for cheap. I've managed to get a bunch of hard-to-find, expensive parts that way in the past.

That's actually a pretty good idea. Making the mold would be the hard part for me. Any suggestions on what to use?

I think I have two spares from one I took apart for parts. I sell them for $40 each shipped, new they go for $80 each. I have all the parts for the factory tonneau cover if anyone needs anything else.

I'll have to think about for $40. Money's a little tight until June 8th. Can I let you know (or will you hold one for me until 6/8)?

As far as other's needing tonneau parts, someone just posted about needing what they referred to as "the strikers". I assume that's the parts that are bolted to the sides of the bed for the latches to grap. I think it was either yesterday or today.

Edit:
Here's the person looking for the strikers...

Okay, thanks. I'll send you the money on the 8th, Do you take PayPal? I'll also PM you my address.

how much for hardware and one lock ?

 

[BTRKY]

Dang. I just trashed a whole cover with locks, plugs, etc. The cover was torn.

I put on a roll up cover and didn't have storage room so I tossed the stock cover in the dumpster at work. I had no idea there was a demand.

I do have the tonneau brackets for the bed with screws if someone wants them. (2004 ST)

I'll take the other one if it's still available. I made one out of wood (as a stop gap), which I'll post pics as soon as the paint is dry tomorrow, but I'd rather have a real one. I'll pm you Rebel

 

[MidnightRebel07]

Got the pm and replied.

 

[MidnightRebel07]

OK, both lock covers are spoken for and sold. I have all the rest of the parts for the tonneau cover if anyone needs anything.

 

[MidnightRebel07]

Jarek23k, which lock and what hardware are you asking about? I posted pictures here...

I know this is an old post, but I am in need of the cover for my 2010.
