Yeah, you're absolutely right. I've thought about protecting the areas with some clear tape.
It's just that you'd think you wouldn't have to dick about with zip ties and tape on a fork that has bolt holes for a fender.
I've simply learned to enjoy not being able to see much due to mud spray on my glasses/goggles. Makes it more fun innit...

Yeah this is part of what put me off getting the 3d printed guard for the helm. I think it's possible that, without the wing/flap protruding down, it could actually direct more muck onto the seal/stanchion area than it would with no mudguard at all.
Its the zip ties used to install the other fenders that put me off, they eventually leave marks on the fork legs
