Fender install question?

So if/when you wash the car, it sits in the rain... absolutely no way water could get between there? even around the bolts? If so you created a pretty good dam
In my opinion, Only advantage to some filler between the panels here is to prevent a possible whistle/wind noise. I don't know enough about the airflow to say that is possible. Good luck to all either way.

I used the 1 inch wide stuff like RV's use on the seams so the bolts actually go through it as well, then I think engine heat would take care of anything else. (maybe):D
I know it has to be better than the foam.
