Melted rubber?
I've got multiple gray-colored, rubberish-textured "drips" coming from the edges of the underbody panels. Never noticed it before tonight while washing off the weekend's bugs. Several of the "drips" are 2+ inches long.
A few forum searches revealed nothing. What are these things?
TIA, John

Ja!...Das ist gut! 
Better too much than too little...that's the adhesive that bonds the balsa composite floorboards in place. Take a grinder and knock them off if they bother you; but leave a nice generous bead right at the floor board. I would be careful breaking them off by hand...you could fracture the adhesive up into the joint.

Leave it to a Sooner to try and rip me off! BTW, I'm one, too (OU '90).
