Question Side Skirt Clip Question

When I bought my z it only had one of the rear side skirt clips installed, and

it's always popping out, so I just checked it out and it looks like the clip's

pin won't even fit inside it's hole. They're the OEM clips, and I was just

about to buy some more of them but before I do I wanted to get some

opinions on this. Do you guy's think the improper fitment is from the pin on

the clip being worn out, or maybe the hole it fits into?

Thanks.

*UPDATE*

So I just pulled out the one clip that was installed, and tried installing it into one of

the holes that had a missing clip and it fit perfectly. Does this mean that the clip is

fine, but the plastic piece with the hole in it is worn out? I noticed one of the front

side skirt clips is popping out too, probably for the same reason.

[I can post pictures if that would help]

There are two different size clips used on the side skirts. One has a slightly bigger "ball" on the male end of the clip. You need to examine the plastic female ends that are pressed into the body to decide what size clip fits into each one.
