Thanks guys. I don't feel so bad now. What a PITFA. I figured I'd need longer screws for the bottom. You'd think RallyArmor would include LONGER ****ING SCREWS. God I'm still pissed. This is the first mod that has really given me trouble. I don't mind difficult installs but when it comes to little things like getting holes to line up or screws not threading in the way they should it aggravates the piss out of me.

Weird. Mine lined up and installed easily. Following their instructions?

Got all the clips out and stuck the black fastener into the front fender well for the long screw to go into, got everything lined up and started inserting the screws.

I began by tightening the long screw first and noticed the screw wasn't going anywhere. The black piece just sits there and spins and no matter what I did the screw WOULD NOT go in and expand it. I decided to skip that and get the other three screws in and lo and behold the bottom screw is too short. It would not catch no matter how hard I pushed, pulled, or realigned the sideskirt. I tried inserting one of the other long screws and it went in no problem. I spent 2 hours screaming and cursing in my driveway trying to install these things. I finally said **** it and gave up.

Anyone else have any of these problems? I mean this is ridiculous.
i had your EXACT problem with the front passenger side. Heres how i did mines:

instead of inserting the plastic in front of the fender lining, insert it behind the fender lining, where the plactic peice is right up against the bare metal. make sure the plastic is inserted completely, wheather you bang on it with the bottom of the screwdriver or a hammer, jus make sure its flat or close to flat against the metal. then realign the fender lining and and continue with install...trust me, that worked perfectly.

thank you for the video. i read the instruction sheet from RA and found it a bit confusing (mostly because the pictures shown were B&W which were very unclear). I decided to search this forum and the video was perfect. i just brought my lap top out to the garage and followed it step by step.
