Default hot climate RS4s: anyone had a goopy gel oozing out of the rear wheel wells?
seems like some sort of sound-deadening material, more than adhesive. comes out from between the body panels and the felt wheel well liner. only happened on rear so far, so maybe they don't do it up front. wheel wells seem to be pinned in, but maybe this is an additional adhesive...?

Default um.... no.
That's odd.

I'm in NY though, so it's only really hot during the summer.

I bet it is part of the protective spray they use and remove after the car is in port

Default Probably just cosmoline finding its way out finally...
Although I've never seen it come out of those specific areas, shouldn't be anything to worry about.

Default Haven't seen that, but I have seen a few drops of some ivory colored waxy stuff on my garage floor.
NOW GET BACK TO WORK!
