Sideskirts Install Assistance Needed

[hex808]

Hello folks,

Like the title says, I am looking for some help with reinstalling the sideskirts on an a7. Specifically any tips or suggestions to get the skirt over the 9 x white clips that hold it in place. Any assistance is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

They are a PIA to reinstall. But work from rear toward front.

The skirt clips in to the top portion of the white clip above the tab and then locks into place.
I pulled the skirt up and pushed the tab down so I could get it to fully seat. It was a pain but not too bad once I figured out the trick.
Some of the clips may be easy to remove from car and clip into the side skirt. I removed 2 under the b piller by the doors.
Once it's clipped into place screw in the large bottom retainers.

Durf,
Thanks for the advice. Worked out well and got one side done and just waiting to tackle the other side this weekend! I owe you one.

It's not easy, I had my A7 fitted with the "S" skirts this morning. I talked to the body shop tech, and they are a 2 part motion kinda thing. There are two (2) motions and angles to get the clips to hold the skirt. He says he's done a few and it takes practice. I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but that's from the horse's mouth. Good luck...
