To keep the cloth material from absorbing moisture, it was treated with bitumen or other materials to seal the moisture out.

Playing Devil's Advocate with you, that probably could be argued a tad.
A Teacup Rear Lamp Bracket was bolted directly to the sheetmetal fender sans any welting or gasket. Fenders to Running Board attaching points did not use any welting or anti-squeak. Hood shelves in the front are another area. Brackets holding bumpers or fenders are yet another.
