There seems to be a debate about whether they protect it or actually cause the issue. If you look at them, the backside has a flap that extends up and angles away from the quarter panel to sit in between the plastic inner well liner and quarter panel. Without it there is 1/4 gap between the plastic inner liner and quarter panel. It seems like the edge protectors are necessary to keep water away from that area. I am really not sure what's actually best, but I am leaning heavily towards the side of putting new ones back on.
