Re: body panel alignment problem
[ QUOTE ]
There are triangular shaped, closed cell foam, wedges that are glued to the underside of the cowl - I'm not totally sure what they are for, but..... [/ QUOTE ] I believe the foam is there to prevent debris from going past that point and collecting down between the inside of the fender and the cowl side panel. Of course, when that foam falls off, then stuff gets down there and contributes to rotting the fenders from the inside out.

Re: body panel alignment problem
I always believed that they were there to help the air feed into the heater core better. I know I have never seen any NOS ones of these.

Re: body panel alignment problem
shims are a easy fix
but if you don't like using them the panel is made of sheet metal and can be tweeked to fit by a good bodyman

Re: body panel alignment problem
Shims were used from the factory.
