I'm guessing that TNhunter has the spreader bar bumpers that Arrowhead Equipment sells:

I'd like to get something similar for my Ridgerunner, but with the fall 2019 redesign of the RR, that metal plate that the ends of the bars slid into was eliminated. The ends of the poles go right into a loop on the dogbones now. I don't know if AHE or anyone else has a commercial product that's been adapted to the new design.
I made those from a bike inner tube bought from Wally World.
It's easy to make the bumpers with non-sticky, self adhering silicone tape that you can get at any hardware store. For my RidgeRunner, I made two or three wraps, then poked a hole for the spreader bars. I don't have a DCF tarp, but have no worry with silnylon or silpoly.
