Ditto. An alternative solution to the issue is to cut off the wrap around door seals so the don’t trap all the grit that ultimately rubs the paint off the underside of the arch.

Did some cosmetic work on mine before I sold it, I decided to remove the wheel arch liners and was met with a sea of rust on the forward portion of the arch tub, it was a dished stiffener skin panel about 250mm2 and the crust on that was incredible, like an old anchor... took a hammer and chisel to remove it...treated it with convertor then stone-chipped it, both sides identical with the rest of the tub being almost mint, weird.

PPS...those replacemnet panels look crap, they really should have the outer sill portion on them and ideally the whole door shut, it would be much simpler to remove the entire panel at the door rubber seam, then you get see the dog for the rabbit on the internal skin/s.

Of ourse, even after all that you still wouldn't have addressed the real issue, which is leaking roof seams but at least you can douse the cavities in waxoil after paint.
 
I should think there would be a demand for them. It would be good if these parts are becoming available people don’t seem to realise the age of L322 due to its modern appearance
