Bead on Inside Quarter Panel Bottom Lip
There is a bead of something flexible on the bottom inside lip of my quarter panels that runs from the top of the quarter panel behind the bumper down the quarter panel and ends behind the wheels. It is flexible and has cracked.
Does anyone know what this is and where to find it? It looks like it is a cell structure internally, and I have attached a picture of the backside of a piece that I removed. My car was assembled in Baltimore.

I assume this was applied before paint so I can reapply sealer and then paint over it.
I assume that any good auto seam sealer would be fine.

Read the tech on it before you get too far. Most seam sealers cant be applied to bare metal, so you have to do it after the epoxy/primers but before paint. Also there is tons of different kinds, for that you will want a heavy body (thick) seam sealer. Some is self leveling and real runny, you dont want that. I believe the Napa here has a display of the build of each one squirted out on a board so you can see how thick it is. 1" paint brush will spread it nicely. Also will want to grab some acid brushes to spread the harder to reach area.

I think there's 2 part stuff you can use as well.

Was this sealer put on before the body was painted or after?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
