aren't you supposed to use double-sided tape?

People who work in the part section are dumb asses!!! They **** me off. They don't know jack **** about cars... ok now i need some coffee and cigarettes!

Anyhoo... yes you do need something. Brackets. They go under the car and keep the side skirts from moving. You also need clips but thats optional. YOu can do without them. Just use double sided tape. A friend of mine has done that.

Check this link out too..

you have to use double sided tape, and not any double sided cheap tape, use only 3M automotive tape, they are the best you can get.

I just installed the OEM sideskirts on my baby maybe a month and a half ago and I can't say I have the same problem - those things ARE NOT coming off. You shouldn't have to buy double sided tape - there were brackets with adhesive tape already on them that come with the kit. And there are about maybe 5 (or 6?) brackets that attach to the chassis of the car underneath. Do you have the "aero kit" or the "side under spoilers"??
