Poor wheel well sealing!! - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hey all.. It might be more evident for folks that live in an area where they have snow and use salt for the road…

Has anyone noticed how poorly the wheel wells area sealed from the engine bay??... I have on both sides of the wheel well a spot where to two sheets of metal over lap and water (salt) gets into the engine bay.. I looked in the wheel well area, and Toyota did caulk some of the areas but not this one area…

My only concern is long term and with living in Toronto, the road salt in the winters, it might prematurely start to break down the paint and start to rust this area..

Anyone else notice this with there Yaris (Sedan) that this seam is not caulked from the inside (wheel well)?
