Hey guys,

I recently curbed my side skirt, now the rear portion of the skirt is lifted off the body a bit. I know there was a how to on installing side skirts, but i couldn't seem to find them. If someone could post a link that would be great.

--would you guys rec taking it off then reattaching it? (buy new clips at the auto store) or trying something else like 3m double-sided body tape?

thanks in advance

Um wait! The slide clips don't require sliding if you are installing new ones. You would attach the clips to the skirt first then push them all into their holes at one time - infinetly easier than what we did, D-Man, on your ride. you just didn't want to shell out the cash for new clips remember?
BTW - The clips from Toyota are only $1.50 my cost [so maybe $2 each retail?] cause I just bought some fairly recently. You'll need a dozen or so of them to do both sides. 10 would for sure take care of one side.

Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.

I didnt want to drive up to the dealership b/c we'd been waiting hours for that paint to dry and you and your gal had things to do. Plus we were running out of daylight time. rolleyes.gif and someone's white clothing fur is still in my fender mad.gif

And if i remember correctly, your method may work, but something inhibited us from doing that origonaly... Oh yeah, half of the clips broke trying to take em out rolleyes.gif Damn poptabs...
