I'm in the process of restoring my 85GSL-SE and the other day I pulled off all the rubber moldings. I noticed that the driver side rear was different than the passenger side rear or any other for that matter because it had what looks like a little extension over the marker light frame. (SEE PICS) Dare I say that this was engineered in as an ingenious way to keep fuel off the lens since it sits directly under the fuel door?

 

This is exactly what it is. FC have the same lip on the passenger side.

 

Sweet. Thanks Sgt. Fox. I love things like that. Shows attention to detail.

 

Found that out myself when I took my molding off for painting. Nice idea, but I really doubt it's efficiancy.

 

I can see why they did it, though; SA's are famous for losing the section of molding under the gas filler.
