I used adhesive backed polyurethane (McMaster-Carr  8997K28) on my 3B.  I "dry fitted" it to the grill to mark the holes and punched them out.  Then peeled the backing and stuck them on the grill.  It stays in-place when removing the fenders.

I bought actual fender welting off eBay. Its a wide thin piece of some sort of vinyl material with a nice about 3/16" D roll on the edge.



It was available in a bunch of colors I got one that closely matched my Pacific Blue. I've had the left fender on and off a couple times and the material holds up very well.  Do a search for Fender Welting if you are interested.

Thanks Fella's,

I think I'll look into a thin rubber option for the fenders - no point in paying international shipping when I can source locally

Rus you've saved me there, thought it was in both area's - just the fender and Cowl then

Hi, I made mine from a very thin sheet of rubber. Its waterproof and was cheap. In this case as it was always going to be hidden I was happy to use something that was not stock.

I got the same but from Beachwood Canvas.  It's welting.  I'll wager that it was used between the fenders and cowl only as that may be where the most movement was vs. movement between the fenders and radiator guard (no anti squeak). 

So something, as opposed to nothing, I would say is better.  I had to look up Dynamat.  It states its closed-cell and due to those tiny pockets of air, I suspect it's good at muffling sound.  I wonder how it would hold up to rubbing (I couldn't find an application for that) and if those cells were broken open through abrasion, could it trap and hold moisture?  Suggest a google search for anti squeak and you may find a lot of options cheaper than Dynamat, or go "old school" and get some welting!  If you choose, welting, call the vendor and ask if its soaked/impregnated with something like oil or tar to help with not absorbing water.

I guess it depends on how you plan to use the Jeep. We used this kit for our 3A, but it is mostly nice weather only driver at this point. It includes on the pieces needed for the front fenders.

Hi guys,

I was pondering on the anti squeak material for the fenders, what do you use? How thick was it originally?

Would a product like Dynamat be an option or overkill?

Let me know your thoughts, I've overlooked that detail and wondering if it's worth sorting or is it just going to be a magnet for water
