Side Skirt Bowing
I've seen a fair few Gt's with the side skirts not being completely flush with the car, mine included.

Is it completely sitting in the bracket on the rocker?

I'm not sure, how do I check that? The entire side piece is really tight up against the body minus one small area.

Go where it's bowed out and push down on it

I think the side skirts had stretched or at least on the one I saw.

I have, it goes back and looks good, but then it springs back.
I was thinking of squirting some Gorilla Glue in it and clamping it down with a vice grip, but I thought I'd ask around first.

if you mold them, say with a strap and a 2x4 out in the heat they'll bend back. i've never tried this but was told by a friend. it has to be pretty hot, probably the best bet is in the summer.
