I peeled off the skirts ok but the thick strip of sealant is still on the ute! the bumper was such a *beep* to do mainly because I didnt have a socket to get the tow bar ball off same again though the pieces behind the rear wheel were glued to hell! I picked up a f6 tornado kit and looks like it will fit but may need some mounts for the bottom of the side skits as the kit sits alot lower Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88707-side-skirt-removal/page/2/#findComment-1487755 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just use larger pop rivets to hold the brackets on the skirt part and some self taping gal screws on the sill ,and use rust proving inside of the holes and on the tread .I know that the sills are filled with foam for sound deadening and can course rust (had the problem with au xr6) ps 3 mm aluminium would be fine ,use insulation tape to stop electrolyses (rust )it can happen in salty areas Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88707-side-skirt-removal/page/2/#findComment-1487898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
