Default filling the gaps

what do yall think about using "great stuff" to fill in some gaps i have in between my door jam and front fender?



Like right at the bottom of the rocker in the wheel well is a little gap between where the splash guars and the bottom of the fender meet and it gets plugged with mudd and junk. anyone tried this?

I ll get a better picture tomorrow to show you exactly what im talking about

A lot of guys use pool noodles. Myself included. Just wedge them up in there and your good to go! One noodle covers both sides. I don't believe Great Stuff holds up when it gets wet...

Great stuff will hold moisture and cause rust. Go for the noodles.
