That 'filler' piece between the cab and the fender??

[Jeepwalker]

Hey guys.

What's the name of that black rubber/fiber foam-like filler panel they screwed onto the front outside of the cab below the a-pillars, which fits between the cab and the fenders? The panel that degrades, gets crumbly and deteriorates. At leaston the early tks ('89 here).

Ive been having trouble locating a pr ...or maybe I've been looking at the wrong places?? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

A lot of times referred to as a fender baffle or wind baffle/deflector. Not sure they are available.

I’ve seen them called a “Fender Cowl Seal” too.

THAT's the PIECE!! Thanks. I'll look for some. Maybe at the local salvage yard if I can find any. Any idea if they were available on all years? Mine literally just degraded and crumbled.

Thanks!

My guess is they are all in bad shape.

Been trying to find some also, they are pure, uncut unobtainium

Both 97's I took apart, and my 98 didn't have them. Not sure when they might have stopped.

My 96 does have them.

My ‘93 has them. I am saving them for a future project. Might try finding some material to make them out of. TBH, I think you could get away with just making some out of basic material. Pretty sure it’s just for wind noise.

Agreed, because the material used is total crap.
