Front wheel liner panel

[steveobes]

After taking off my front wheel I noticed that the plastic panel that gains you access to the front light had parts of the sealing foam sticking out .
A good clean and some superglue I repositioned the foam trim in the correct place.
No wonder the headlights get misted up
I sealed the top when put back with some black silicone just to make sure of watertight seal.
It is a horrible design tbh.

Agreed - ended up using gorilla tape after re-doing all the foam bits. Silicone doesn’t stick that well and a few layers of tape means that they’re easily removable, look fine and totally seal of the back of the headlights from water.

I also put some plastic sheet on the other side as well.

That looks like a great job there
Going to try the gorilla tape as well
