   I noticed today that the side skirt and plastic rear quarter have come loose when i pulled the rear quarter to look behind it i heard something drop into the side skirt im guessing a clip. Does anybody have a spare clip or know how to fix this? Cheers

   I think it is a clip because this happened to my mates saxo. I would cable tie it secure until you get a clip just incase you lose it when driving

   my car has a loose rear quarter. i think its a little hard to replace the clip unless you remove the whole panel which is a bit of a ball ache as its bonded on. mines outside as we speak with a clamp holding it on as i tiger sealed the loose bit. hope this works

   there clipped on, buy a pack from ebay!, its piss easy to do, you have to pull the skirt off carefuly,{doing this will most likely damage the existing clips} ,then put all the new clips in place on the skirt then just line the clips up with the holes on sill then press each one in, job done properly happy days!!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CITROEN-DOOR-T...item41564d3bca theres a few clips to choose from size wise so best remove it and see what you got, i think i got these ones and they were fine.

   i was about to say they are not bonded on! they have screws under the car that run along the skirt then just clips all the way alont the side its not a big job buy enough for the whole skirt as they will break removing them and then its just undo the screws and pop it off replace the clips and the screws and your set
