oem side skirt problems

I've had my car for a little over a year and ever since I have got it the side skirts have been loose, I have looked at it a few times to try and see if i can fix it myself but all the screws do is just attach it to the car. The back part of the side skirts are very loose and about an inch lower than they are suppose to be. Every time I get my oil changed I tell them to look at it and i think thats all they ever do is just look at it because it's never been fixed. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to tighten them up? It's not really a major problem but it's always just been something that has bugged me. Thanks

Under the skirt there should be 4 metal brackets these should have screws in them. tightening these screws pul the skirt to the body. Take a look and see if they are missing or if the screws rattled out. They get a little loose from time to time. I just reach under and tighten them up by hand when they do.

u should also check if somehow the side skirt is off from the metal bracket.. but its most likely the bolts on the brackets below.. just tigthen those as u push the kit towards the body as suggested...

Yup i would also look under the car to see what's loose. If all else fails then take it back to Honda and demand it to be fixed!
