It looks like both front fenders were replaced at some time in my cars life.
I can't say they did a bad job but they never replaced the seam seal. Originally was there a bead of seam seal at the bottom of this gap between the caul and fender? The 3 mm gap narrows to about 1 mm at the bottom. I am thinking I should fill that 1 mm gap. The way it is now water can drip thru in areas. I am not sure if that is a good thing or bad.
