Default Classic side skirts loose after bad weather

As above, are there just clip kits I can buy and secure them myself or are they more involved, not had any time to get under the car yet due to my working hours.
Any info much appreciated, lee.

Each skirt is in two bits, plus a thin bendy seal along the top.

They are held on by bolts underneath, which screw into plastic bits which are, in turn, forced into square holes in the sill. These are a nightmare to remove if they've never been off, as the bolts rust, then turn the squares in their holes, rounding them off. Don't worry, they are available from dealers, as are the clips that hold the upper edge, and the two, one at either end, these two needing to have the centres picked out before they will release.

If you do have to remove them, it is a good idea to replace the bolts at the very least. Stainless roofing bolts are a good replacement. All the clips are pennies.
