I was noticing hot air coming from the side panel as I was driving and a little probing showed separation of the fender from the wheel well. Some searching and I see that is called chipmunk cheeks and I found the suggested repair involving bolting through the trim and then sealing it all up.

Is there any structural reason to bolt the fenders back into position?
Why not just seal it up and live with the old age jowls?
