installing impul side skirt

How do I install them? How do I drill them in? The screws don't fit into the clips that break off after removing the OEM sides, What do I use or need to mount the side skirt on to where the door place is? Do I needa buy a clip that fit into the indentations and screw it on? If so what clip? or do I just use OEM's and use a big screw to make it fit in? but the screw will still wobble left and right.

help please

You'll need new clips. (dealership) the Impul sides mount exactly like the OE sides. It would help if you get a friend to hold while you measure/drill. Measure twice, drill once and install using the hardware you took off!

would the screws hold onto the OEM clips though? the screw seems wobbly when I put it into one of the clips I had. Or do I need different clips? I only need help with the door is. the clips that are there , and some of them broke.

If you don't want to drill, I've heard of people gluing them on also....

^ naw. It really depends on the situation.

Gluing costs more and is more of a hassle.
That's why most opt for drilling.

In my case, I wish I went with glue....
