Has anyone installed them without using a drill? I realized this morning that the car is too low to the ground to fit the drill underneath. Wondering if I could just use a screw driver for the self tapping screws (in addition to the 3m tape). Car is run flat so didn’t come with a jack either.

Just try without taking the tape off.

Meaning just use tape and no screws? Would that be secure enough?

No I mean just tap a single screw to see if you can get through it with only a screw driver. If you can't get through, you'll have to get the car on a lift, or get a ratcheting/pivot driver (that's what I would get anyways...they come in handy). It won't stay on with just the tape.

If you can borrow an angle drill it works. Just tape will not hold

Going to try using a right angle extension for my drill. Will get here on Tuesday so will have to delay until next weekend. Definitely won’t be as good as a true angle driver but will see if it works out! Thanks for the tips. Will post pics when done.

I used a piece of 2x4 as a ramp onto a curb and reversed onto it

It lifted just enough to used a regular drill all the way down.

Hello.

Do the side skirts mess with the welcome lights?

Thank you.

No, they finish just before the light so that it still works
