Hi!

I have a new cube and was looking around and noticed "putty" type material underneath the wheel wells. I can post pictures if needed, but I wanted to see if anyone else had this on their cube. It just bothered me because it looks like stuff to use for repair or something. It's on the back rear wells and a little on front wells also.

Thanks for the input!

Hopefully its nothing but a messy job!

Thanks for the help

Other than that, the 6 speed shifts nicely. Time to browse forum and see what kind of things there are to do for a little extra pep :)

Yep - Normal. Whole car is held together with structural adhesive, LOL.

Here's a good start:

It's actually paint sealer that is applied to seal the seams between metal parts to prevent water leaking into the cabin. It's normal.
