Default Reattaching a loosened splash guard and sideskirt

I think all it takes is a few clips, but I need size and placement.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Mine was loose and the dealer fixed it under warranty. I have no idea how they are attached.

Did you do something to cause it to become loose? Mine was just found to be loose one day during an application of Blackfire...

The Dealer said it would take a day to fix and wouldn't be covered under warranty.

But the pieces are intact, and I understand they attach to the chassis with plastic clips.

If someone could indicate what the Service Manual says/shows on this, I would be grateful.

i checked the service manual and suprisingly there wasnt really anything on mud/splash guards. however, i had the same problem and its really easy to reattach them. both the front and back splash guards are attached via two small screws on the wheel well side of the guards. the screws are backed by a small metal clip that allows the screws to fully tighten against the body trim. i lost the lower clip so consequently you can try to tighten all day but it wont.

Thanks, a.j.!

I'm pretty sure I can get the screws at any auto supply store. I'll ask about the clips as well.
