Use locating pins on the top of the skirt. Then use a sort of stud on the chassis and a wing nut on the bottom to hold it on. Here is a rough idea.
Use multiple push-to-close latches. Possibly in conjunction with some locating pins on top. This would necessitate a rigid frame for the skirt.
I guess I'm curious how the OEM sideskirts are held to cars? Some sort of plastic snap would probably work great, but I haven't found any good ones readily avaliable. |
I would just put pins sticking out where your wing nuts are and make U groves in the studs so the skirt will slide up in position. Now all I would need is a way to lock it at the top. I would probably use somekind of hook lock like the ones used on rooftop boxes.
