Found while replacing Window Regulator

While replacing my driver's side window regulator, I noticed that this rubber seal has broken down into a bunch of tiny pieces...is it important? Should I replace it? Thanks!

I think that's what's left of the insulation gasket. It covers the whole opening. Important, no, nice to have, yes. Fairly inexpensive. The dealerships, major vette aftermarket suppliers, gene, all sell them still I think. I covered mine with frostking peel and stick foil covered foam insulation from lowes

Oh I thought you was going to say you found a dope hole. IIRC there was a new owner of a C4 who said he found a dope compartment in his door.

I figured that you found a nut tied to a piece of string so that it would rattle.

Oh it was here. Thanks, I couldn't remember as I frequent the C4 section as well.

Thats your water splash curtain. It keeps water from splashing onto your inside door panel when water reaches the inside of the door. You should replace it .You can just cut a peice of heavy plastic and press it on to the sticky sealer. Will do the same thing.
