Video tutorial

Here is a video showing you how to fit the side skirts to your Ford Fiesta. First, place the skirt against the lower side of the vehicle and take a measurement.

Mark a line along the top with a non-permanent marker to use as a reference point for the final installation. Use a solvent to prepare the surface where the adhesive will be applied.

Now apply the adhesion promoter at the points where the adhesive tape will be attached. Use a razor blade to cut the centre of the red tape to create a tab that can be pulled during installation.

Now position the skirt using the reference mark made earlier. Starting from the centre section, pull the red tab and press the skirt onto the vehicle's surface.

You can also use a roller to increase the effectiveness of the pressure. Now, using a power drill, make holes in the front edge for the self-tapping screws that you will screw in with the electric screwdriver.

After removing the rear wheel, install the rear supports, also using the drill. Secure a screw centrally as well.

To protect the metal of the screws, apply some paint with a small brush.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
