which scews to use for stillen side skirts?

ive had the stillen kit on for a year or so now and recently the screws holding my side skirts on are scraping up against the door while driving over bumps. its a real annoying metal to metal grind sound. i know its the screws because i felt under the door and sure enough some paint is scraped off right where the screws are for the kit. does anyone have any suggestions to eliminate the noise? i wish i could afford to get them molded on but thats not realistic right now. thanks in advance.

I used to have rivets down the top of the side skirts. Now I have new side skirts because they start to buckle and tear. I ended up buying new ones because they got so bad. I now have them 3M taped on and so far so good. Now they don't show anything.

Yes, I have stillen side skirts. They tore and cracked in the winter from the doors rubbing and from using rivets.

hmmm, so the best way to get the stillen side skirts without having any problems are...

1.) get the kit professionally molded by a shop?
2.) use the 3M double-sided molding tape or is that the same exact thing they use at the shop??

i plan to get my stillen sides and rear kit installed very soon, so any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks guys.

I wouldn't trust just double-sided tape.

By using Rivets on my side skirts my rocker panels started rusting as well. I talked to the body shop about molding my new side skirts like the back pieces and they said they wouldn't recommend it. In fact they wouldn't do it there.

I think the Altezzas look better on the Sterling Mist than any other color...that's the first time I've seen them on that color. Why do you guys hate them so much? I have them on my white Max. Is it just a girl thing? Maybe they are kinda feminine.

And my side skirts are taped and pop riveted.
