Had a thought on this, which might address both the gap and the hard edges... since I notice the same after my test install...
If I could find rubber weatherstripping that has a "T" shape, then it would be possible to put the leg of the "T" into the gap (which also helps address the size issue as you did in post #13) and use the top of the "T" to smooth the transition from body to skirt... I crudely tried to illustrate what I mean in the image below, which hopefully is somewhat clearer than mud....
Judicious application of a heat gun would help stretch / shrink the weatherstripping around the radius of the wheel well.
I've seen some T-shaped weatherstripping, but nothing that has a big enough "T" to fit between the wheel well and the skirt... has anyone else seen something like that where the "T" is ~1 1/2" to 2"? If not, maybe a pair of "L"-shapes back to back would work.
