Hey everyone!
Came back from cruising, and I unfortunately pulled into my parking spot at my apartment from the wrong approach. There's an eroding retaining wall that I brushed up against causing the side skirt to fall off.
Fortunately it looks like there's only a small crack along one of the slots one of the underside retainers hooks into, but it's small enough that it doesn't go along the entire piece and is only visible if you flex the part.
Since the only thing I need to replace are the retaining buttons at the splash guards, I figured it would be easy to just pop on. Unfortunately I didn't realize how hard it is to align all the retainers to the piece. It's just me popping the skirt back on, and other than using my phone's front camera to ensure the underbody retainers are lined up I'm having difficulty figuring out how to align everything. The service manual just says to fit the skirt in place and engage the retainers, but I can't figure out how to do that.
Anyone have any advice on how I can get this fixed?
Thanks in advance for your help!
