could they possibly ahve just fallen off and ended up inside the rear hatch somewhere? take the black plastic off and see if they are inside somewhere.

The picture below is self explanatory ,so check if your bump stops are there!
I cant find a reference number for these (maybe Quicksilver can help) and I didnt want to take one off a customers car ,so I made my own!
this is exactly how mine looks. D'oh. best try to track that down OR cut up a bit of school eraser to same thickness as plastic part on passenger side and glue onto the existing black rubber... why not just make the bump stop entirely rubber and exclude the plastic that could get lost. DAMN
