side skirt fitting

[Jordan Apex]

How do you fit the genuine side skirts? They have tabs coming off of them, but what do they actually attach to!? :xmas-smiley-019:

[capese21]

Remove the existing side trim first. The tabs line up to holes in the car which fix using the plastic rivets included with the fitting kit.

Thank you, now to see if my friend has the fitting kit :icon_lol:

[capese21]

The fitting kit has the rivets foam tape and the printed instructions!! It took start to finish less than an hour to fit mine

Good Luck

That would be why no one I could find asked for help before :icon_lol: hopefully he has it thanks again :)

To fit the side x power side skirts I have to remove the sill trim already in place and have seen the how to 2 diesels made, My question is do I need to be concerned about breaking the clips or does it not matter because of the scrivet type that are supplied with the fitting kit?

Ahh the instructions say shear away so looks like it doesn't matter if they break, makes life easier :)

[danbmx_69]

dont worry anout brakeing the clips, just made sure they all come out, the side skits should have the clips of them ready so you just clip that straght in to place

[Jordan Apex]

Thank you :)

Always better IMO if you can remove without breaking the clips, as you also risk buckling the trim. Worth a try at least. Especially with 2diesels How to. :shrug: :}

[Jordan Apex]

I will still follow the how to, just wanted to know so I could stock up on those clips just incase, but as it they're not needed it doesn't matter as much, I will still be careful and won't tear it off :)

[Jordan Apex]

Yea I know I have posted about this before but I am currently fitting them, I have removed the sills already and cleaned the entire area as per instruction, now it says I should fit the double sided tape to the "full length of the recess in the top forward edge of sill" now do I apply this to the side skirt or to the indent at the top of the bodywork that was revelaed by removing the sill trims? :shrug:

[Greeners]

From doing ZR skirts, fit it to the skirt not the body...

I'd also warm both surfaces to aid adhesion...

[Jordan Apex]

It is already done, it did have to attach to the skirt, and the skirt was in the house so was warm and then I pressed firmly on the skirt when attached as it used pressure activated adhesive :D

Where did you but the skirts from please?

[Jordan Apex]

They're available new from rimmers for around 40 each iirc I got mine for free from a friend who bought them for his zt but sold it before putting them on :D

[billericaymgxpower]

Where did you buy the skirts from please?

Thanks for reply. Sorry, repeated post as had to edit spelling!

[Jordan Apex]

No worries, they're simple to fit as well despite several posts by myself :duh:

You can remove the sill trims without breaking the clips (they are expensive and members will often be in need of them. ;)

I'm just waiting for a dry day to fit my skirts. Got the kit from Rimmers. Just wanted to ask you about where exactly the tape goes?
Read instructions "full length of the recess in the top forward edge of sill" - but does this mean along the whole length of the skirts front to back at the top edge?
Just a bit confused where it says the forward edge?
Thanks

[Jordan Apex]

Where the clips are attached on the sill it sits on that inside top edge so basically it runs along those clips and you have to tuck a little bit under those

Oh dear...... Worked for me and a few others that I know of. Clips must have been very brittle. :duh:

[Jordan Apex]

It was literally just above 0 so that wouldn't have helped

Ahhh. That would be why. Its was about 23 degrees when I did mine.
