Behind the tar board in my 67, I’m not talking about the ‘pillows’ but the weaved cloth looking thing. It’s not some kind of heat resistant asbestos cloth is it?

| I'm certainly not an expert, but does it match your interior? On my bug, I found small squares of interior fabric used throughout the car in hidden areas which I assumed were to reduce rattling, wire chafing, etc. |

Feel like it might match the stuff wrapping round the pipe under the rear seat? |

Looks exactly like a scrap of cloth seat covering that's been used as a chafe guard to me. Very common to see this in numerous spots around the vehicle, mostly hidden behind door cards, tarboard, headliner, etc.

| No offense, but is your goal to take the car apart piece by piece to inspect every unknown fiber out of concern for it being asbestos?? Hobbies are fun too!! |
