3dr / 5dr side skirts - different length?

[holty]

I recently got hold of some colour coded side skirts off a 5 dr, when i came to fit them (to my 3dr) yesterday they seemed a little longer (5 mm or so). 

Should they be longer or am i just going a little mad?  I no longer have my original 3 door ones to check against!

I have 3 door sideskirts on my 5 door, no difference as i see it, just get them fitted

cheers!

Only fitted one yesterday! was a nightmare, had to remove the fixing kit as it didnt seem to be doing anything.

Is there are simple way of fitting them? Couldnt find any guides!

[big al]

There are 4 or 5 star shaped screws if I remember correctly, 2 or 3 underneath along the chassis, and 1 on each end in the whel arches.
Then there is a LOT of adhesive sticking them on, I used a plastic ice scraper to prize mine off, but you will need something quite strong to stick them back on afterwards.

Yeah used alot of back to back tape and tigerseal.

The prob i had was getting the height correct, I managed to stick it a little too high and the screws didnt fit in! Had to take off and refix!

Is there are knack to fixing them on?

Maybe masking tape first to line everything up?. Then use a stick of chalk to mark up ?.
