Aftermarket sideskirts, how and what are people using to mount them? The bottem, rocker panel area is easy, but the door jam area is what i'm concerned with. So far ive thought of using the OEM style pop clips, rivnuts, Countersunk Plusnuts and many other versions. What is everyone else using?

 

I used aluminum rivet nuts. 3 of them per side.

 

check out my diy thread broskee:

I used sheet metal screws, no rust til this day

 

Yup I used plastic rivets like the oem ones. I remove mine all the time.

 

Do you really need to special tool to install the rivnuts?


Very tempting also


They may have to come off from time to time. I hope they clear my trailer when i pick it up. I wish it was easy to install them with 1/4 turn fastners, that would be my prefured method.

 

Yes, a special tool was required. You also have to get a mandrel specific to thread and pitch. Not as universal as a normal rivet gun.

 

Dam, but i do think that would be the most secure way to mount them.

 

I'm about to go through this as well and am a little on the fence about the side skirts. I don't mind the bumpers at all, they are easy... but the side skirts present some problems just because they don't use the same factory mounting tabs like stock. This thread helped easy my worries a bit, though I may still consider paying to have them installed if I'm sure the result will be more professional that I could do on my own.

 

bottom and sides. i keep the top (underneath the door) portion via 3m double sided tape. seemed to work so far. i hate putting metal screws and or push rivets through

 

That's a good idea. It doesn't have the strong wind pushing it in a direction that should compromise the integrity of the adhesive given the other mounting points are done properly.
