Darrell,

My low mileage 69 Chevelle convertible had the same heavy paper under the drivers side sill plate when I bought it 13+ years ago. I believe it is the remnant of the carpet protection paper that the factory installed for shipment to the dealer. During dealer prep, rather than remove the sill plate and the entire piece of paper, the technician would just rip the exposed paper away, using the edge of the sill plate as a 'cutting edge', and so the unexposed portion remained under the sill plate. That's my theory and I'm stickin' to it [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
