IPL Side Skirt Problem

I installed one side of my IPL side skirt yesterday and the fitment was perfect and everything, but I noticed if you're standing about 10 feet or further back from the car looking at it from the side you can see some of the side skirt "sagging" I guess would be the easiest way to explain it. It's not even with the rest of the bottom of the skirt. I think I'm just going to saw it off unless it magically goes on correctly, has anybody else had this problem?

Never experienced this problem, try reinstalling and make sure all clips are in correctly.

I'm confused too. Sagging and OP thinks it can be corrected by sawing it off?

I was thinking some of the clips maybe not clipped on. But when he said "sawing it off" ??



Any pics? I was planning on installing mine in about 6 hrs.

I think I know what the OP is talking about.

I was walking towards my car on an empty parking lot and noticed the "sag" in the bottom (part of skirt that's under the car and facing the ground) and the middle (below the front seat area and B-pillar) of the skirt.

It's only noticeable from a certain distance and angle from the side of the car so it doesn't really bother me at all right now. Also depends on the lighting as you obviously can't see it if the underside of the car is dark.

Maybe missing a clip or screw?

I'm pretty sure I used all screws and clips during installation. "Sag" may not be the best word to describe it but if you installed your sideskirts on your own, you'll noticed an extra fairly large "flap" on the new skirt that goes underneath the car. Thats the part that "sags" down. I'm not exactly sure what it's purpose is.

Alright, went out into the garage and looked under the car.... I think you may be talking about how under neath the vehicle, the side isn't flat like the rest of the car? I tried to take a picture and this was the best I got.....

Sorry for these this reply but yes! That is what I'm refering too! I guess it's natural, it's only bad at certain angles so I can deal with it!
