Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks
German term or phrase: Wassertasche
I am translating a list of material names/ component names for the master data for vehicle parts. The document is for a company that specialises in vehicle bodies.
This word comes in a section full of references to parts of a car soft top

"Einleger Wassertasche"
"Zusammenbau Wassertasche"

Does anyone know what part this refers to?"

TIA
