Docking Kit Damaged

I purchased an aftermarket rear docking kit for my 06 Street Glide. Installation wasn't an issue. When I attached my tour pack it sliced up the cheap rubber where it latches, now the rubber has fallen off and vibration is bad. I asked the dealership if I could purchase the hard plastic ones like on the front docking kit and he said no. He said they won't work and it has to be the soft rubber. Any suggestions on what I can do without buying a new kit for one piece?

Here's a thread where they talk about the "aluminum bushings" ...does away with the rubber ones that'll get cut up after a while.

I had one of the rubber bushing and screw vibrate out. Went to a local dealer where I was at the time, and they ordered the individual pieces with no issues. Put loktite on them after that. If you look up the docking kit on the HD website, you should be able to find the individual part number for everything in the kit. Take the part number to a local shop or order it online. I would imagine they are the same size as the HD ones, if not, it's only a couple of bucks.
