Interesting info indeed, especially since it was good enough that you didn't detect it just from handling/opening/closing the tailgate.
Wasn't it like 1972 when GM pioneered some kind of a plastic/rubber/foam mix for the nose of it's GTOs? Just read an article about that, where it was saying this was groundbreaking because the nose section of the car could take a hit and within 24 hours return to it's original shape. As the body color was mixed into the plastic/rubber/foam stuff repainting wasn't an issue, nor was getting the paint to stick to the material, which had been an issue with plastics in the past. Hmmm, think it was in CarCraft or possibly HotRod magazine. Hafta go dig that out and see.
