Dumb panelling question

[deadscoob]

Am finally pulling my finger out and starting panelling.

Where the side panels meet the front panel, there's no tab or apparent way of securing them to make a proper seal. Is this just left as is? Am thinking if I drive in the wet it's likely to let water in.

I've checked the build manual and various build sites, perhaps I'm just being dumb. Am I missing something?

Cheers

Along the front edge, there is no mechanical fixing. You just fit them so they sit flush and run a bead of sikaflex (bond'n'seal or whatever) to seal/hold it.

Thanks - and then just a bead between the side and front panels to seal?

I'm surprised it's not tabbed like the read of the side panel.

You will find later that you will have some scrap trim from other parts. Don't throw those out. You can use them to fill in little places like that. I ended up purchasing a small sheet for miscellaneous construction.
