here is a pic from driver side. I was able to put my hand in between. It felt like sponge padding that goes across the length of the cab not sure how far it goes down.5EBE03DC-53F7-49D1-8675-2739AC925C9B.jpeg

I don't think that's factory, i've seen other guys trucks on here with the box off and its just a shiny cab behind there with those 2 vents like I posted. I'm scratching my head trying to think why somebody would do that. Has to be a reason, good or bad, lol.

Looks like a sound deadening panel. I believe I remember seeing the same (mine still attached) on my 2020. It's late for an old guy so I'll check tomorrow if I can remember.

Yep i did see some posts in f150 forums. Wondering if i need this fixed or just forget about it. Looks like it will be pain in the butt to fix it.

I have a 21 and its on mine. ill go get a pic an post it. There are 2 of them directly above the vents and they are about 18-20" wide and about 6" tall. Maybe 1/4 - 3/8 inch thick. I cant see if they rest on top of the vents or stop above them. I can only think it might be some type of water diverter so water doesn't run down onto the vents. I can't see any other use, as of now. They weren't on my 2018' gen 2. What year is yours maybe they started to put them on later gen 2's
I a had water leaking into the passenger side vent. It wasn't properly attached and apparently for a long time. They had to remove the whole interior and replace my carpet it was loaded with mold. Youre definitely going yo want those vents tight. IMG_7126.jpeg
