you see it?? know what I'm talking about??
there's a gap between the sideskirt and the rear wheelwell plastic there... and as the tire rotates, all the dirt/sand and **** gets thrown in there...
I was thinking of putting some clear silicone across it, to seal it up... AFTER I'm able to get all the crap out of course...
BUT... dunno how that would affect any possible flexing that may be required while driving... if that **** moves at all or shifts, etc etc...

wonder if I could use a hole saw and drill a couple holes in the bottom of the side-skirt, towards the back, so that when **** gets thrown in there by the tires, it has someplace to go...
would even make it easier to just spray a hose up there with water and have it flushed down and out...
hmmmmm.....

I have noticed the rock/dirt/sand in the side skirt in the rear fender well also. I tried to get it out, but it didn't work. I think it is going to be too much work to take off the side skirt; it is just going to fill back up anyway.
