I guess it does to some extent, it's just that most panels sit (more or less) flat against the chassis rails, rather than going off on a tangent like the sides at the front of the chassis.
Wherever the panels do sit flat I've bonded them on with sikaflex, hopefully filling any slight gaps.
I was just wondering if it's worth doing the same for the massive gaps at the front.

TSM - good point about them sloping forwards and being able to drain out of the front. Or it would be if I hadn't folded the panels over the front frame at the bottom and sealed that gap up!
