The reason: The unavoidably high speed bumps where I live.

It doesn't look very bad from the side.


But once you get above it you can see it.



These little notches are showing, and there is about a half inch of space there.


And it looks like the "housing" of the notches are broken.



Would anyone know how to fix this?
And excuse the dirtiness of the passenger side...people don't know how keep their shoes clean -_-

 

for starters I think the side skirt should tuck under the "side step"

 

We have a lead!

 

You might take it to a body shop. I suspect they would know how to fix your sideskirts.

 

I was also thinking that if no body knew how. lol

 

It's a guess, but I think you need new "housings", the female aspect of the clip.

I'd call the dealership and ask for the parts department and describe what you need. They can look up the part, and they can bring in their most relevant mechanic for this job and get that person's input on what parts you need.

Or call a Z-centric shop like Concept Z Performance or whatnot and I'm sure someone there would know.

Report back on how this goes if you would? I'm always up for learning and mayyyy have to do this myself as well, but not for a bit.

I do know the back corner is double sided taped on,

 

Repeated blows to the side skirts have damaged both the female plugs and some of the male clips as well. Nissan does sell replacements, but you'll need to remove the phillips head screws in the fenderwells and 10 mm bolts underneath before you can get to them. There's also some double sided tape to replace towards the front of the side skirt.

 

So I just called Nissan, and they can order the Male/Female pieces, and they are about 1.50 each or something like that.
And for the front, I'll just go buy some 3M Double-Sided Tape.

Thanks for all the help guys!

 

u gotta pop up the black side step thing then push the side skirt back into place. its not gonna lock in place with the side step in the way. if it doesn't lock in then go and replace those parts
