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.

How did I ever miss that? Mine just didn't have it so it must have been ripped or torn off but I put some back on it!! | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 |
Alvin,
I cannot find the rear fender welt specifically listed in the Master Parts Book, but the FAM is good enough documentation for me.
