There's also clips that hold them on. You almost have to take it completely off to put it back on. It's a pain.

Re: Side skirts hanging off, wont go on.

I dealt with this on on my 1g about 6 months back. To do it the right way, take them all the way off and get all the old double sided tape off of the door and the sideskirt. Get new clips and then a roll of double-sided 3m tape and go around the edges of the sideskirt piece. Then just push it back onto the car until the clips lock and then make sure the double-sided tape sticks. Kind of a pain to do, took me almost a full day to do it (getting them off, to the store to get supplies, cleaning, etc.)

I'd think the dealership would have some, or maybe ace might even have some equivalents.

My car is the same way, but I'm too lazy to fix it and just give it a little tap with my foot every time I walk by the car. Fixes it for a second
