Inner Fender 51 Hornet

Hienkel429

Hi all, 

Along the edge nearest the firewall, the inner fender has the holes from a material being stapled in place.  Is this rubber or the "felt" like on the lower triangle part of the inner fender?  What is the purpose of the material so I can make sure when I put it back in it is doing its intended job.  

Thanks,

Ray

So I see them now from Doug, is the piece to seal off any mud or water being thrown up from the wheel or does the rubber go between the inner fender and firewall to prevent squeaking or something like that?

Thanks

So I have at least two vendors, but what is its purpose so I can install them correctly?  They are not mentioned in either of the body manuals. 

Thanks
