I've got hold of some genuine Zender sideskirts, on offering them up to the car they don't look like they will fit.
The edge fits into the slot running across the top but it's to high for the door. Any ideas would be great fully received but apart from altering the skirts I can't see how it would fit. Oh and my door hasn't dropped so thats not the problem.

Thanks
Phil

When I offer up the skirt I presume the top edge goes into the groove between the black lower body work and the painted bodywork. This should then run along just under the door edge and into the groove behind the front wheel.

i yjouhht you meant that

here is a piccy
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/frary1755.freeserve.co.uk/Dsc00064.jpg
it basicaly fits flush with the top of the sill
i found its easiest to line up the front and the back bits that go round the end of the sills into the wheel arches.

the photo is a bit decieving becouse the guy who did mine was so good there isnt a join where it meats the top of the sill

Thanks for your input, so that would leave a gap on mine because they have a triangle kind of tab that comes out perpendicular to the skirt. That fits in the groove fine but if it's lower then it will be held off. If it wasn't there they would fit keenly. Yours look like they wrap round the top and fit nicely.

buzz , i had the same problem when fitting mine, the triangle grove fits nice and snug in the groove on the sill but doesnt sit in there ! it sits lower you will have to fill the gap in with tiger seal,i then got the skirts sprayed when i had fitted to the car.

to be honest considering they are genuine skirts the fit could have been a whole lot better.

Only just looked back in here, thinking of tackling the skirt issue again today. Thanks for the reply Steve, that confirms the problem I found with mine.
