Our old bumper was a little loose, but very, with the suggested bumper material.

Our bumper was mounted to a fixture (two chairs and a piece of c-channel) and we pulled some carpet+a ball underneath the bumper and we'd set the bumper height with a measuring tape. We might get different results if we moved faster or had a looser bumper.

Can you quantify "low"?
