Default Rear inner wheel well question

Was installing rear speakers this weekend and pulled back the carpet over the wheel wells. They were both covered with some sort of gray material about 1/4 - 3/8" thick that was also covered with a thin clear plastic type "wrap". What caused the concern is that the t-top brackets were recessed.

Is this correct, or was something done back there in the past?
