Started pulling WS6 apart as it is going to be painted this winter (reason being, I'm not a fan of the color).
When I pulled the rear tails, I kind of noticed that both rear quarters, where they tuck back into the taillight resesses have what looks like bunch of seam sealer or something gooped around the edges and painted over. It's on both sides and starting to crack a little. Is this normal from the factory? Maybe I've lost touch with the fit and finish on these 4th gen Fbodies lol.
I cannot find any reason to think it was wrecked/painted/repaired as there are no marks, damage, or paint lines. The rear deck lid is indeed chipped, that seems separate from this.
It is factory seam sealer. It is just some sloppy work from assembly line. Remember, these are cheaply built GM cars of the 90's, not a hand built Bentley.
If you feel so inclined, it will scrape/grind off.

It's nowhere near that messy though. That car has definitely been repaired before on the rear.
