Got 3 questions:

1. How much roll are you guys achieving? Any estimates on clearance?

2. How easy would it be to damage your fender while doing this? I can be quite clumsy at detail work like this, and getting a dremel at that angle seems pretty awkward.

3. What are you guys using to seal it all back up when you're done rolling?
1. I'd say I netted about 5mm in additional space per side. Doesn't sound like much but in terms of fender-to-tire clearance, that's huge.
2. The grinding/cutting Dremel disks I used were small (maybe 1.5" diameter)... I could tell even by sound alone if it touched anything other than rubber/goop in the channel.
3. I am in Arizona, so moisture is far from a concern... but I would suggest probably squeezing in some RTV or silicone sealant into the channel once complete.
