Anyone got a scrap shell?

Reason being I have taken off the A pillar trim for the first time in my ownership, and around some of the fixing peg holes there are dribbles of a waxoil type stuff. I was wondering if that was a sign that someone had rustproofed it prior to my ownership, or whether they all were like this from the factory?

Either way it's going to get another injection!

I encountered this when I took the head-lining out of the scrap GTI last Saturday. Scrape some up and send it off for analysis!

They had some form of gloop thrown dow there yes, not sure it's waxoyl as we know it, but black tar shite indeed.

That gloop will be Dinitrol. Always works great where it actually got to, but everything not protected just seem to rot quicker
