Window Pillar
Had my car returned from Toyota after they replaced the window pillars due to rust.
Is this foam at the base added on or has it always been there? Thought it might be added on to prevent rust from rattling.

It is part of the weatherstrip TSB issued in early 2014 for the weatherstrip. Mine didn't have it before I had the TSB done but did after. At least that is my guess.

@Ratez .......I'm ah feared we are going to have to take that magnifying glass away from you .... unless you get your OCD under control .....
 I checked my made in April 2013 FR-S, and it does NOT have that piece of foam there. Nor is that piece rusted. Our air and water come straight off of the ocean, clean and pure ...... and we don't add salt ......  humfrz |

You aren't cool unless you have foam. Too bad for humfrz. Also, you have to pee your pants.

That strip is the sum total of the FR-S soundproofing materials.

Looks like extra weight. I don't want it.
