Drivin to class today and I had to go around a disabled car in the middle of the road.. everyone was going around him on the shoulder where there was a nice amount of snow... well, needless to say, I had no choice and with my bodykit I just crossed my fingers. The snow ended up causing my right side skirt to come loose towards the front of the car :( . I have RMM side skirts and they were mounted on top of the stock ones... when i pull the loose side skirt back (can only come back like 1/4") I can see a white plastic snap is lose.. I'm thinking I might have broken it or in the very least knocked it out of place. I'm wondering what else is holding that stock side skirt on.... anyone who has taken them off know? I don't want to hafta bother with taking it to my bodyshop with something so minor... If there is just a snap there I figure I can probably just fix it myself.
Thanks

There are a bunch of clips and snaps plus one bolt holding the stock side skirts on. The clips are at the bottom and the snaps are on the inside of the stock side skirt. The bolt is on the bottom near the front tires.

Yeah, one self tapping screw and 7 annoying clips on each side. I would just get 8 self tapping screws and replace the cheap stuff toyota used when you fix your skirt.
