I am sorry i didn't give you a good explination... behind the quarter window the pillar that forms the "fastback" in between the quarter window and the rear window...on both sides...not sure if that helps much.... on bugs there is a real problem with rust forming there(on bugs called the c-pillar)...and on a fasty there are drains that are facing up..so rain can get down there i figured it would be a good place for rust to hide...and rust from the inside out. and since there is foam inside there i know that isn't a good place to have water getting in at, since foam just makes it worse. > > > > > Talking about sound deadening...Toby showed me > > stuff that he put in place of the tar board.
