Default Rear wheel well pinch weld repair...Bushwackers

When I installed my cut out bushwackers and ended up cutting all of the pinch weld and overtime water and mud got in there and ruin my electrical.


First I filled the gap with spray foam, then pop riveted some "flex edging". I finished it up by feeling it with short strand fiberglass.

My concern is if it will hold up when flexed out. I thought I would share this because I havent seen any write up on how to fix this.

Let me know what you guys think.

Well for starters the foam is going to hold water so your still going to have a problem with rot eventually again.
