There was NO welt on my 52 panel but there was a strip of what I refer to as sort of like roof felt. Its a asphalt/petroleum saturated type of paper....or that's my best description. It kept down the squeaks and to keep the water out.
As I mentioned above, I used the stuff earlier volkswagons used. Its flexible and won't look ugly in a few years.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
