Part purpose and name
Hi,
What is the name of that part, purpose and how can I replace it? In my car it's unpainted, half broken, seems like some kind of rubber and I'm not sure if/how to repair.
Thank you!

It looks like someone put sealer between pillar and front fender and threw some paint in there. Paint on trim plate.

Search this forum using the term "armpit"... was a good thread recently that had links to previous threads with some good information.

Schlock, goop, stucco, mud, call it whatever, it has no part number. It’s purpose is nothing more than to hide the area where the surround is bonded to the cowl.

I believe it's called body sealer.

Is that part of a repair from a previous accident?
