It's supposed to be protection between the guard and the fender and also hides any gaps that there might be.

I have it on mine for 2 years now and no problems. Just fit it snug before you install it. A 2nd pair of hands might help there.

A few folks have posted that the gasket didn't prevent marring of the paint. I do have the gasket on my splash guards, but as an extra precaution made a template of where the gasket/trim edge would contact the fender, and cut some clear film (3M Scotchcal) to install underneath the gasket/trim edge. I think that I went about 3/8" or so beyond the trim edge.
