Decent (ideally quick release) way of holding side skirts on?

[Stavros]

As title really.

Currently held on with screws and cable ties, but somehow (fuck knows how) one still fell off on the road somewhere, so I'm thinking I need a better way, esp as it's a pain in the arse to fit mine with cable ties anyhow, and screws just chew up the holes in no time too.

Those quick rubber band things people use for bumpers wont work on skirts I cant imagine, but what else can I use?

Try rivnuts with countersunk Allen bolts and washers, same sort of way they fit motorbike plastics

How about Dzus fasteners Stav?

poppers? like the old kappa tracksuits from the 90's?

I was looking at motorbike and dzus fasteners (I got dzus ones holding my rear hatch on), but they're gonna be a cunt to fit I think. Not sure, but seems it.

I'm actually thinking bonnet pins, these flush fit ones maybe, would be easier...

I think your over thinking this..

Theres bugger all wrong with cable ties if you dont use cheap shit ones. Even still I doubt yours will be draggin the floor, BUT if they are, its a case of fitting 2 per end. The idea is so they do come off, not so they stay fixed in place and shatter into loads of pieces.. :S

Mint. Read what I said-

It's a total cunt due to the shape of the skirts/body to use cable ties to hold them on in certain places on this car, hence wanting a better way.

All other skirts on other cars I've had, and the bumpers on this one, are held on with cable ties no bother, but on this for a few places on the skirt at least, it's a massive cunt, verging on not possible, hence the thread.

Any pics of the situation? May be easier to see what's going on

Dzus fasteners would be the way to go, but you will obviously need to make a couple of platforms for them to be mounted to. The 935 porsche we had/have at work has practically all its bodywork fastened this way and that is good on a track at near 200mph.

Just need to spend a little bit of time fabricating some brackets/platforms
