Trying to fix ground effects

[2005runner]

I got a black 05 runner. All the clips on the side skirts are broke bought new clips now what do I do from here....remove ?????? Insert clips where???? Is it an easy fix

 

[Murderface]

As long as the holes that the clips pop into to lock the two pieces together aren't worn out ur ok. If they're worn out ur best bet is to use zip ties to hold everything together. If the little bracket pieces are broken off then you'll need to use some plasti weld to reattach them to the ground effects. Been there done that and fixed them all the way I described above

 

[blackx-runner]

Yep, what he said. If all the mounting points are good. New clips should press right in. If anything is actually broke its time for some zip ties and JB weld.

I tried doing the zipties but it doesnt look flush. theres like a little gap? is it always gonna be like that with the zip ties?

Is it hard to do the zipties causr the clips dont stay in the track under the rocker.....what size zipties do I use.......do I remove the track underneath...what is the easy way to do this

 

[Murderface]

I had no issues getting mine tite with no gap. ^^^u just need to find a spot on the track that's attached to the truck to fish the zip tie thru and then find a spot on the ground effect. Jack the truck up, put jack stands under the truck and get to zipping and make sure the zip ties are tite!

What size zipties should I use

 

[redarkx]

I have 1/4 inch holding most of my body kit on.

i had to zip tie my side skirts because the holes were broken. the side skirt actaully broke off.

Mine are JB welded. Nearly all the clips and the retaining loop on the skirt itselves are mostly broke off.

 

[mixplate_xr]

Got JB WELD and Zip Ties holding on one of my pieces, managed to get it fairly flush.

My passenger side has some broke. Looked like they are broke right next to the ground effects. Barely a stub sticking out. I will have to try this method I guess. Every time my daughter gets out I cringe because she brushes up against the skirt.
