Subject: what is that goo
>Hi,

>Since the PO had a lot of junk in the car and not knowing

>(~1" wide) piece of goo. At one point it was white-ish in color
>(my car is white so this doesn't help, but it did look painted).

>What is it. Is it important? Do I need to replace it??

>I'm guessing its caulk of some sort, but why is it there???
>(No mention of it in the Moss Catalog, is it OEM??)
