Wheel well gaps

Wheel well gaps
Greetings,
Been looking at buying a '16 R but on close inspection, noticed what seems like a quality issue. Running my fingers under the lips of all four wheel wells, I could feel 1" or so open gaps between metal and the plastic wheel well liners. Has anyone else noticed this? It surely wasn't designed that way, was it? If so, why? The risk, it seems to me, is allowing moisture to easily get behind that gap and cause a long-term issue (rust?).
Has anyone else noticed this on their cars and, if so, is it a concern?
