Does anyone know of any problems with getting side skirts fitted?

I have been told that at present you can't get genuine ones fitted as they have had problems with them falling off!! :'(

If that really is the case are there any non-genuine ones that can be fitted and are they any good?

Thanks

That was getting them fitted as an option on anything other than a SR

So not factory fitted.

so what happens in the process of 'fitting' them as an 'option' over having them come as standard as an SR?

how bizarre!

My 'standard' ones were a bit loose on one end only, which they fixed in my first service...

Hi Tracey, I think I mentioned my spoiler before.. I still haven't gone around to get it fixed. Hyundai has sent a new spoiler to the service centre I go to..I just haven't had the time to go due to work.  :mad:

front skirt is a bit wobbly now,

I thought it was a whole new bolt on bumper? If it's add-ons like the side skirts this might help

Or the warranty of course  :D

i took Heidi too the doctors (the dealership) and yes they will sort it out, Yes u r right 2i30.. screwed on inside the wheel arch and sticky taped on a few spots around the front.... seems water has got behind the spoiler and the tape has lost its stickiness. .... not happy... paid over a grand for the sports kit and its only held on by sellotape...  :'(

My right side skirt keeps loosening up every time it gets tightened, so it looks like a new one will have to be ordered... the car itself is perfectly fine but what's with the accesories?! My spoiler, the floor mat, my ongoing problem with the side skirts......
