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.

definitely install the cowl to fender seal, we have made them for years after the factory discontinued them, critical to keep the water out and this is an expansion joint as well if really going for it!! (LOL). Install them after the car is painted and thoroughly dried. And do not load the paint up in this "gutter" or the seal may be hard to install and chip the thick paint. George Hussey
