    How should i fit my side skirts?

    My cavalier SRi sideskirts came today, and they seem to be missing an end cap.
    Can someone just confirm that there should be an end cap supplied with these?

    Anyway, Even if they are slightly too long, I can always trim them an inch or so which isnt a problem.

    How should i go about fitting them?
    Actually how to bond them onto the car

    tiger glue would make them stick well but you will strugle to get the stuff off if you decide to remove them. are they not screwed on?

    Im thinking about perhaps screwing them in on the sides, and then applying some sort of glue along the side to stick them.
    I was planning on sourcing an end cap too to help with the mouting
