Correct, they do not turn down. A minor gap (1/8") was left between the 1/4 panel and the outer tub. I did not want the possibility of a "wave" or line to ever show up where the tub met the 1/4 sheet metal, we urethaned the gap to bond the two pieces, but to also allow for movement/expansion as the two parts heat/cool to weather etc. I did leave a 1" band of the original outer tub and the area where the bracing welds to it ( you can see a good picture of it on first page of thread that shows the driver side with rear 1/4 removed.
