I decided the best option was to start by removing the spray foam. I needed to figure out if it was open or closed cell anyway (it's closed cell). So now I have a blank canvas except for the residue. Can I install eternabond tape over the spray foam residue or will that compromise the seal?
Second, I'm assuming I'm going to have to pull the skirt back to get that area sealed. I don't like the idea of ignoring it but it looks like a royal pain to get it off. I can remove the screws, but I'm guessing the metal is sealed on with silicon. To reinstall, I'd assume I'll have to clean the silicon first. Just seems like opening a can of worms!
If there's an easier way and I'm over complicating this, I'd appreciate experienced comments!
Wheel well metal is installed incorrectly and sealing it permanently will be doubtful.
That upturned sheet metal of the wheel well should actually be behind the outside wall. Having it behind the outside wall allows any moisture running down the outside wall is simply shed off.
That is a very good example of poor design and/or assembly and the outside "skirt" just hides and serves as a means to hide the bad design/assembly..
Is there any way you can drop the wheel well enough to relocate behind the outside wall? If it is possible to relocate that metal you can use any caulking/sealant between the wall and the relocated metal.
