Side skirt fitting 1*2

Just putting the side skirts back on 172…

I have added rivnuts to the cill so I can bolt on / off.
Have riveted all the plastic bits that sit just below the door.

When fixing the nut into the underside of the cill, it’s seems to push the skirt upwards and pop off the black plastic bits above.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a nack to re fitting them?

Wonder if the black plastic hangers need to be in a certain position.

I know @Louis rivnutted his side skirts on.
I’ve rivnutted the bottom holes in the metal cill.

The black plastic bits can only go in one place as the hole where the rivet goes is already set.

I haven’t actually fixed the skirt on as such yet as I ran out of time so it might pull tight when all the fixings underneath and the one under the front arch are tightened up.

Just didn’t seem to sit right when placed on loosely.

Have you riveted them all on like this?

Managed to get them on.

They don’t sit perfect but it’s a track car so as long as it doesn’t fall off I’m not too bothered.
Looks decent from a few feet away lol.

Basically because the cill is so deformed from all the jacking up and down I think that’s what the issue was.

Never taking them off again.
