My credo
What's the worst that could happen?
I pulled the left front fender off and am in the process of putting it back when I remembered this part. I remember it falling out from wherever it was when I pulled the fender off but I wasn't paying attention. Plus, I prolly had a few beers in me at the time. I'm pretty sure it goes in the space between the rear of the fender and the front of the door, but I can't seem to get it in the right position. It's flexible foam rubber.
Thanks

On my 2nd generation, both pieces were balled up, folded in half and just kinda stuffed up there (someone "fixed" the radio and cut the speaker wires so obviously had nasty fingers in there)... from the way they unfolded I kinda gathered they must have meant to be right in line with the firewall. Additional sound deadening to keep the engine bay noise out of the back half?
 
Yeah, that goes in the space between the inner and outer fender by the door hinges. Supposed to reduce wind noise or something. They are often missing on older vehicles for one reason or another. Most of my trucks don’t have them anymore for one reason or another as well, lol. Either they weren’t there when I worked on it, or they didn’t get put back, lol.
 
Yup. I took a closer look at the right side and found where that one was. Whether or not it was in the correct spot or not is another question. But the way that the foam is formed, shaped and cut, I would have thought it's placement would be more obvious. The right side foam piece lays on top of the fender liner and gets stuffed between the liner and body shell. Weird. Sorry I didn't take a pic. I
