    Peeling

    Hey everyone i asked before about the rubber Coating on the Fenders Chassis. is it also on the inside of the Pannels ?? and was wandering does it matter if it peeles its on the Back pannel near the Fuel Filler on the Inside and same on the other side and it looks to be the same Rubber coating as on the chassis but its kindda peeling off. Does this matter ?? should i do anything ??
    Regards Adrian

    I don't have a fender, but I presume its the sound deadening stuff they paint/spray on inside car doors and wheel arches and the like.
    It can peel with age.
    You can by this bitumous material at auto shops, its call underbody deadener

    If it is peeling it means water can get through the cracks and behind the coating and as such aiding corrosion. Peel off as much of the loose stuff as possible and apply new material, as accurately as possible, making sure to leave no fissures as point of possible water entry.
