    Thanks oldave57. However, I am not referring to the insulation between the front and back panels on the inside of the rear deck lid. I am talking about the two white pads that are attached on the left and right sides on inside of the deck lid that are about 2 inches wide and about 5 inches long and maybe 1 inch thick. I believe they are used to protect the roof from the deck lid hitting it when the roof is retracted and the deck lid is in the closed position. I think it is the same material that is glued to the fender wells to protect the flipper but, obviously a very different shape and position. Appreciate the help.

    White Pads on backside of deck

    On my 57 Skyliner, there are two small pads that are about 3/4" wide by 1 1/4" long that the folded package tray contacts, but I can't see how those pads could contact the roof in the retracted position. I mentioned the insulation because on my car, the original insulation had "sagged" enough to contact the roof and it left some small marks in the paint because the insulation had become brittle. Replacing the insulation with new that was glued flat to the deck lid solved that problem.
