Can anyone tell me what this is? I was rear ended and the frame was bent "slightly". The insurance company in all their wisdom decided to have the car repaired. I just picked it up. When checking the repair I found this black sticky material under the spare tire. Also the grey. Any ideas?

Sound deadening pad?

Ask the body shop...

^^^ that.

That black sticky material is probably sound damping stuff. It absorbs vibration. The gray stuff may be something similar.

I’m pretty sure that pad is there on the car from the factory. If you noticed it it’s probably just because they but a new one on and it hasn’t fully cured so it’s a little sticky

The body shop cut that whole piece out ( where the spare tire is ). Then welded a new piece in. I just wonder how safe that is?
