At step 5. How are you predrilling the holes into the body with the nail? Were you using special tool for this part or just by hands to force it through? Thanks again for the tips. You don't know how long I've waited to get this done and out of the way And I'm actually out in California, but traffic is probably just as bad out here too

I used the ratched/socket as a "holder" to drive the nail/drill thru the plastic body of the car. I placed the nail/drill inside the socket while attached to the ratchet. It gave me the means of forcing it up. Then I wiggled the nail around some to open the hole slightly more. Once that was done I took the self-tapping screw and pushed it into the hole with some force. Not all the way thru but enough to get it started. Then I screwed it in. |

I'll add to this, after having to reinstall mine after the first time:
First, I put tape down the entire length. A few spots here & there left them too floppy for my liking. Second, on the screws, I put a gob of silicone in the hole and on the screw to help hold it once it's in there. The side skirts are really, really thin. It's not like drilling into a 2 x 4. I figured the silicone would keep them from moving around at all. |

The silicon is a good suggestion. Did not think about that. While I do not think mine are going anywhere the silicon adds additional peace of mind. If my sure if my side blades come off the car its because the entire side of my car fell off, lol. ![]()
