I've got my aero skirts! I purchased it already painted used. Do I need to jack the car? Any other pieces of miscellaneous hardware needed before I install them? Thanks for the help!

There are bolts beneath the sill line that are easier to get to if the car is raised. Not a big deal if you have a trolley jack.

If I remember correctly I did mine without jacking. Of course jacking would make it easier.

I did not jack the car up, not needed at all.

Question, I'm going to be swapping my Aero skirt for a new (used) one.

I've gone ahead and ordered new retaining clips as well as the weather strip molding. But for the rubber molding, what's the best way to install them if they don't have the adhesive already on it?

I finally got mine installed a couple of weeks ago.

I ordered them from getbmwparts.com and they came with the weatherstripping included. The weatherstripping has adhesive inside the groove. This will be come obvious if you install it incorrectly and have to remove it to reinstall it.

I also wanted to add that I didn't have to trim the left skirt, but I did have to trim the right skirt. The left one went on fine and I couldn't understand what everyone was talking about having to trim it. Then I put the right skirt on and it was obvious what the problem is. The black clip on the body that the skirt clips into on the front part of the skirt has a little protrusion and keeps the front part of the skirt from being fully pushed in. Since I already had all of the other clips and rivets in place, I took a rough flat file and while my wife held towels over the bodywork, I held the skirt out and just filed away the inner front portion of the skirt. It then popped in with no problem. I wasn't about to go back to the left side and see what the difference was.

If I recall, once the skirt is in place the rubber strip gets sandwiched between the skirt and body parts. It ain't coming out.

It has been over 8 years since I installed mine, but I didn't put any adhesives on it for sure. I think I just dabbed some hot glue at strategic places to hold the rubber strip on while I install and it's held up fine.

Thanks, everything went on fine. Ugh, really cannot wait to get her back on the road.

Hi everyone, sorry to bump a super old thread, but was curious if anyone had the part numbers to the bayonet fasteners referred to the 1st post?

I bought a set 2nd hand, so it didn't come with them. Thanks!
