    Default Help With Damaged Side Skirt

    I just removed the mud guards off my VX II S-pac and found this pushed in area on my side skirt:

    I am guessing that the mud guard has pushed into the side skirt to create the damaged area.

    What are suggestions for fixing this? I have not had much experience with this type of stuff.

    My thoughts would be to
    1. Pull it out by twisting a screw into the pushed in area
    2. Fill the holes/uneven areas with bog
    3. Cover with light amount touch up paint.

    Thoughts or help with this area would be much appreciated!
    Cheers

    id say that damage is from a jack.
    maybe try and find another skirt the same colour or just pull it out yourself the best you can

    Yeh fair call actually. Bought the car second hand so the original owner must have done it and covered it up with the guards...

    Have seen another skirt on ebay for $142, might try to fix it myself first and if doesnt work will buy a new one

    heat it up really hot with a heat gun, then poke it out with a screw driver. then let it cool.

    then sand it down. then obviously prime and paint.
