What is the "wrapping" on the front struts of RST
On the top of the two struts underneath the paint is what looks like almost stips of cloth of some sort (solid). I've always wondered what exactly it is for?
As in.
Cheers all
(Thanks Lee for the pic. Nice engine bay BTW

Do you mean the sealant around the strut tops where they have sealed the joints.
Cannot see anything else being there......cloth.

It's not cloth but, that sort of texture. Like a bandage.

Aye brush on seam sealer m8. You can smooth it out, just remove it!!!!! Just becomes more prone to rust
