Just rip them all off and design your own system if you can...
After I lost my stock clutch at turn 3b at Blackhawk Farms road course, I had to trailer the XR and the side panels had to be removed!
When we were looking at ideas to re-attach them we decided to remove all the plastic clips from the factory as well as that large plastic piece (4 main fasteners mount that to the body) that mounts underneath of the side where the clips are attached too...
How we did it was with that large plastic piece we drilled holes throughout the side and matched those holes into the side skirts and attached the fasteners and nuts and assembled the entire side skirt to the large plastic piece...
From there all we had to do to mount it back onto the truck was attach those 4 main bolts underneath and their you have it!
From the pics I hope you can see the little bolts that have connected the side skirts to that large plastic piece underneath. It has worked with speeds exceeding 115 mph on the track and daily driving. Actually it is stronger than the factory clips and you do not get that flimsy vibration at speed with the side skirts...
The rubber side skirt below is not connected to the large plastic piece underneath and can be removed without bothering the side skirt mounting points, it is a seperate system using that plumbing tape metal angle bars with all of those holes on them and the factory hangers that mount to the underbody of the cab and bed...
My wife came up with the idea when we were looking at the XR after I installed the stage II clutch...
