i went to test fit my WW G5 side skirts for the first time today since im getting the kit painted on monday and i ran into a little trouble. the side skirts dont seem like they were long enough. me and my dad stretched them as far as we could and we could not get them on. they seemed to be maybe 1/8" or so off. i downloaded the install instructions from wings west and i noticed that i do not have one of those "L-brackets" that the install instructions call for, can this be a problem, and if so what size are they so i can get them? do i have to remove the wheel well and install the skirts behind that or what? thanks for the help.

i did not use any of the brackets they suppiled. so you dont need them. you also do you need to take off the fender wheel trim.

I really couldnt tell you what to do cuz mine went on without a problem. Maybe they warped adn shrunk or something.

is there any way to "unshrink" them?

after looking at the skirts again, they are the right length, but there is this little bump on the inside of the ends of the skirt that seems to be causing the fitment problem. im gonna try to sand that down tomorrow and hopefully they will fit fine then.

if nothing works and you cant get it on any body shop will make it fit for you do to urethane can be strecth with heat, and as for my side it fit without a problem.

I just pushed mine on like hell and they're kinda loose now. I have to wait till the summer to remount and sand em. Winter temps can crack my paint.

so did you sand down the nner piece all the way on both sides or just one because it looks to me like just one side needs to be sanded for it to fit.

^^good luck man. I bet after u sand them and heat em up a bit they will go on without a problem. Trial and error is the way to go!
Good luck!

^^honestly, he's right. I bet if u heat them up a but they will be easier to install. Im going to try that with my type A sides, hopefully it works.

i think they might be warped/twisted a bit, so i will just let the shop heat them back to normal shape so they fit good. i dont want it ghetto rigged, which is how it would be if i tried it.
