Default Help! What Do You Call It?

We drive a 2007 JK and noticed today that one of the 2 black rubber pads/stops on the hood is gone. I assume these are there as a stop when one puts down the windshield.

I can't imagine that it just fell off but it also doesn't seem like some one could have just opened my hood and unscrewed it because you don't really have direct access to it.

Anyway, I would like to replace it but I've searched the Jeep, Mopar, and various Jeep accessory websites and can't figure out what this item is called.

Can anyone tell me what this part/accessory is called? And, does anyone have a suggestion where I may find a replacement?

Thanks.

I have caught mine about to fall off twice... luckily I caught them or they would have easily fallen off on the road. They pop right out... no screw to it. Pretty irritating design.

Many thanks.

FYI, for anyone who may want to replace a Hood Bumper/Windshield Rest, with some help from my friends, we did so at Jeeps Are Us.

One of mine popped off while I was washing the Jeep. I just popped it back in and now I try not to wash the Jeep too often.

I pointed that out to my salesman when he was showing a jeep to another customer...told him he "might wanna show another jeep and get that bumper put on" before he shows that particular one...
