Excellent DIY! very useful when removing skirts and installing nismo side skirts

 

+1.
To the OP, this was an excellent DIY write-up.

 

very helpful... glad i found this

 

I replaced my skirts and found something to add to this DIY:

RED ARROW: Nissan has adheasive tape at this location to aid in keeping the corner flush! Its good to have a piece of really tacky double side tape if not some adhesive caulking blob at this corner if not the outside edge will lift out and not sit flush!

CYAN ARROW: Area that will lift outward with out any adheasive.

im also curious about instillation of aftermarket skirts. im planning on purchasing greddy skirts soon.. any write ups??

op.. thanks a lot, very clear and the pics help a whole lot, its apreciated

 

When replacing sides what clips are you using in the door sill my skirt have holes

 

Can Anyone Help Me With This I Just Want To Know What Kind Of Clips To Add When Installing New Side Skirts Anyone Experience This?????

 

ARE you talking about the ones in the last picture on post #1...the ones that the arrows are pointing too??? the ones on the side skirts are the male end. i would say dealership if you need those???

are those what you are talking about?

Im talking about the male connectors on the skirt itself when you pull it out from the door sill, my new aftermarket ones have pre drilled holes which line up with the female end that is attached in the door sill. Should I just try to find another connector that will fit the stock one? I was just wondering if anyone else has tried this and knows what size I need

 

great DIY

 

fabulous write up, great pics. thanks!

 

Can anyone help me ?? I would really rather do this instead of paying someone

 

PM one of the vendors, like someone from shine auto project..or whoever you bought your aftermarket side skirts from. they should be able to answer your question.

Awesome write up. Instead of paying for someone to do this I just took the time to do it myself. Easy as hell. However the aftermarket sideskirts I got have no pre drilled holes anything so looks like its either 3M or elmers for me...

Replaced my fenders as well in the process of this. I can only instruct with people in the front leaning rest so didn't do a write up.

Next DIY: Replace Factory Ebrake

 

I noticed the same thing. Have you addressed the issue at all with 3M? Thx

 

My update: side skirts without oem snaps

3M doesn't seem to be strong enough at all. Does anyone have a preference as to what type of adhesive caulking should be used? I do not want to drill into the oem snaps. Thx

 

^can't u just put more of the 3M tape??

just make sure that, the area should be cleaned and degreased before putting in the tape.

i have a fitment issue with my oem sides, and i'll be putting some 3M adhesive. i'll update this with pix once done.

 

Tried but looks like i really have to drill into the oem snaps which i don't want to do.

 

since u don't wanna do that, then just look for a stronger adhesive.
