I just looked over my truck today at the dealer. When I opened the front door I see a bag filled with what seams like foam inside the rear of the front fender? Is this normal for f150s and raptors. Thanks.

I can not, sorry. My phones camera died some time ago. I will check my passenger side this week once I pick it up. Its strange looking to say the least. Maybe someone will snap a picture of their rear front fender area.

Not in the cab. Inside the front fender area. Lower portion of the front fender. Once you open the door you see the lower inner portion of the front fender. This is where the foam is sitting.

I just looked at my 2012 and the fender is wrapped around and sealed with spray foam. Can not see the inside of the front fender at all. I know why ford did this, to save weight I'm sure. Just looks bad to me. I would take a few more pounds to have it look decent. Maybe someone with a 2017 raptor could take a picture with their front door open facing the hinge area/front fender.

Its a sound deadener. Helps allot with road noise from the front tires. its a piece of plastic with a foam sealer around it. Pretty common these days

Thanks otis, I was thinking the same thing. I just wish they could of finished the edges better and not see the deading material. I'm sure I can over look it after awhile.
