Whats this? rocks between body panels!
Now that I have a lift and can do cleaning at eye level I found rocks/gravel in the gap between the rocker panel and the rear quarter panel just in front of the rear wheel! I had to remove the screw on the quarter panel inside the wheel well pull the panel out a little and use a small brush to get them all out. No paint danage yet but if it is left there I am sure it would. Looks like they get thrown up and in the gap between the wheel well liner and the quarter panel, I think the fix is going to be some black RTV to fill the gap? What do you think.. Any one else found this?

Pipedreams will probably post here but I will beat him to it. Try this link on his website and get rid of the rocks, http://www.nakidparts.com/id22.html

Went to HomeDepot for the door/window adhesive backed foam weather stripping and placed between as per pipedreams simple instuctions posted by "bybybmw". You have to remove a few screws but it is not difficult and solves the problem with very little expense. Simple but it works
