What purpose did Pontiac have in mind when they put the inner fender (engine compartment) seals (flap) on? Was it to cover seeing under carriage, keep dirt, dust, water out, What? My car will most likely never see mud, 100 miles per, and etc. Looks real nice without it. Sure would appreciate your knowledge. Lou

It keeps water from splashing on the engine. Everybody drives through water. It goes in all directions, but you only see one direction.
Also having a lot of cold water rapidly cooling the engine, exhaust manifold, heads can cause cracks. Just in case you didn't care if the engine got wet.
