Had to lift out my two-burner, glass cover, cooktop  today.

Mine is held in place by four small screws, those screws have a rubber cap for the glass top to rest on.
Well it has been really hot around here.  For example today was 102°F with the T@B cabin at 96°F (on storage pad).
So of course all four of the Screw Caps broke in half when removed.

Before I start an adventure to find something 'close enough' at my local HW store to use as a replacement rubber cap . . .
   Has anyone already been down this path and can provide some "this works" bumper part recommendations?
Cooktop is Dometic OEM CE099 or D21 . . . only parts list I've found show the grate grommets not the hold-down screws/caps.

    You can get those from nüCamp through a dealer.

    Haven't had the problem yet but have you tried punching out some small plugs from a (laying around) neoprene article/sheet? But with the heat they may not work over time. BUT if you have some other higher temp foam may work. Going through the dealer right now for this may be ... time consuming also. I bet Nucamp knows you as you have good comments, hard to believe they won't send you four if you call. My experience has been when you get to someone they try very hard to please.

    On second look the Bumper is designed to break in two.
    It is a two piece part; bottom ring for screw + top bumper cap.

    Next time will try to remember the Rule to Double Check Things before crying wolf.
