In Reply to: Re: Urgent M tech side skirt question posted by AZ on July 15, 2001 at 23:30:35:

Are the grommets for the side skirts the same as those used to hold in the trunk and hood badges??? The part numbers are different, but they seem to look the same.



Yes, you do need grommets for the clips on the skirts to "pop" into the rocker panels.

I installed mine recently but could not get any suppliers who had them in stock. Even the dealers did not carry them. I was able to get the clamps for the bottom of the skirts though.

Anyway, my tech found some other way of doing it and so far, its still on.

I know there are supposed to be 8 holes drilled into the existing rocker panels on each side, but do I need grommets for those holes or no?
Are grommets a part that most dealers have in stock?
