Good afternoon !!!

I just noticed a problem with my driver side side skirt. I do not have had the chance to actually get under the car but from the pictures I took it appears that the sideskirt is attached to the underbody with fasteners and somehow I have lost a few.

I will take the car to the dealer in a week, but meanwhile wanted to see if anybody else has experienced this. Also, it will be interesting to see if this is covered by "Certified Pre Owned" as I believe the fasteners just have failed.

You might want to take a peek underneath your car...

And Yes - I know the car is filthy - but this one is driven!

Those look exactly the same as the ones Porsche use for the front spoilers on the GT3, and they are always falling off because the clips come undone. I'd never checked on them, so thanks for the heads up!

2 years ago I removed them for re-painting and covering with clear guard. At that time there was only one fastener missing and the others seemed to be ok. But I will check again.
