I have the same kit and the same problem. Has anyone come up wiht anything yet? When I took it back to the shop that installed it, they said that if you put screws in there, they will rust really quick and that it could cause a problem. Im not exactly sure what problem this could cause besides looking ugly, but it beats having to push down on my kit each time I want to enter or exit the vehicle. And by the way, I have the same kit. When its warm, I have no problem, when its cold or raining, its a real pain. I think in winter I wont even be able to get in or out. LOL! I think Im just gonna drill screws into it.

it might have to do somthing with the type of urethane kaminari uses. i would contact them tell them about it. seems to me there is a defect with the urethane or the something the shop did (grand auto isn't the best body shop out there).

heres what there doing to my xenon side skirts. i tried 3m tape and i redid it twice and they still fall off because of the rain and crap. anyways... it'll cost me 40 bucks to get my side skirts put on but it'll be worth it i think so i dont have to worry about them falling off. theres no screws underneath them or anything, just on the sides. there gonna use some "heavy duty body side molding tape" which is the tape they put the body side molding on with and they said they've done it several times and its worked and no problems. so next week im getting it done.

by the way, 150 paint and 100 install for a "full" rear bumper replacement. good deal u think? i tried installing the rear bumper but it was not working, theres urethane in the places there shouldn't be, so did not fit that well.
