Default exchanging sideskirts question

Hi there folks, it's been a while since I've posted on here, but I've been checking in every so often and monitoring for some Torch Red side skirts. Today I finally found some, but I have a question... Here is the link to them on ebay, in the last pictures they show a few broken tabs. My question is would they still install and stay on the car fine? Or would they require some modification to function properly with those tabs broken..?

Thanks for any help. Also, I'm still of an open mind to trade someone my flat black ones for their torch red ones if anyone is out there that wants too..

-Patrick

I don't see any broken tabs. I think what you are referring to are the White tabs? If so, those are either break away tabs or one use only tabs, which pretty much means you can find them at any Ford dealer because they're disposable. The tabs you should be concerned with are the one protruding from the upper and lower, interior / back side of the skirts, which from what I can see in the pic are intact in both areas. If there are some cracked tabs, it's nothing some epoxy won't fix. It doesn't even have to look pretty because it will be hidden.

You will be alright. When the side skirts are mounted the bottom attachment points don't really matter. Its really like mentioned above just where they push into the side of the car and attach and those looks alright.
