Alfisti: I have a 1982 Spider and it has rubber bumpers front and back.
The car is in good overall condition, including, I though, the bumpers. I noticed that one end of the rear bumpers seemed to be pulling away and upon a close look the bottom rear of the bumper, that is the side facing the body, is split and the inside seems coming out. The material seems to be very hard sheets and it is almost as if the bumper is rotting from the inside out. The car has not been hit, I should not be as a result of damage. I know that Bondo has a rubber bumper repair product, which I was going to use, before I noticed the extent of the splitting. I could probably try and clamp the bumper back together, it might mean removing some of the hard 'sheets' from inside, but if I am correct that it is rotting, I'm not sure what what should be done. I don't think you can get a new replacement any longer. Does this make sense to any one and has anyone seen this in their car? Does anyone know if there any way of repairing what I have? Does anyone know if there Is there anything I might do to retard further deterioration? Thanks very much!
