Under the Spare Tire
 
I just purchased a CPO RX 350. In doing some cleaning I noticed what looks like strips of a compound (excuse my ignorance) under the spare tire. Is this normal for the RX 350?

TIA.

My guess is to make the joint watertight.

The first photo shows sound dampening material.

#1 is sound dampening material.
#2 is seam sealer

slightly off topic... did you just buy this? I see rust...

Now back to the seam sealer... I might be wrong, but that looked awfully like some aftermarket stuff. Have you checked the Carfax report when you bought the car?
