I would really like to know who makes them or even a Ford part number for them.
Do we have any assembly plant workers that still post on these boards?

After a recent camping trip I found some rubber piece in the bed...sat on it for a few days trying to figure out what it was for and eventually threw it out. Now I have to check the bed extender to see if that is where it came from. Wouldn't this be a warranty item? Bumper to bumper, right? If they are breaking off...i'm just sayin.
...that is sooooo me
Keep it for a few days and toss it - only to find where it goes right AFTER that..glad I'm not the only one
Shoot...now I'm going to have to install padlocks on my rubber feet so you guys don't <help yourselves> to them
Wonder ifI could run a cable lock through all of them and only have to deal with one padlock

Probably won't be the first that comes off. With time I am sure Ford will come up with a way for us to buy the feet (or get them replaced under warranty).
Has anybody noticed that they have water in theirs? When I flip my drivers side one out from in the bed to on the tailgate I can hear water sloshing around in it. Maybe I need to drill a small drain hole in it...

I can hear water sloshing around inside mine on the passenger side. The driver side seems to be fine.

Part number clarification
I ordered 8C3Z99286B27A listed above from Tasca for the lower bumper, expecting to receive the taller one. The price seemed to confirm that this part was the taller one, because it was almost twice the cost of the other part number.
To my surprise, the part that arrived under this part number was actually the shorter one. Apparently the bottom & top reference is based upon the extender being in the deployed position rather than the normally stowed position. This is really strange because it makes the shorter bumper nearly twice the cost of the taller one.
Anyway I now have the shorter one which I don't need, and have to order the other part number. Hopefully the other part number will be for the taller bumper even though the pricing makes no sense. So if you need the shorter bumper (that goes on the top in the normally stowed position) I can confirm that the part number for that one is 8C3Z99286B27A. Hope this saves someone from ordering the wrong part.
