OEM Body Kit Noise

OEM Body Kit Noise
Hey all, I installed the OEM Body Kit a few days back and just noticed I hear wind noise on the left side of the car where the side skirt is at. It only happens when I am above 65MPH or so. I thought it was the rear door but its snug, yet the noise seems to be where the underside side skirt is. Does anyone have this issue also? I think I remember that a fellow member put a spacer or something like that underneath. I couldn't find the thread or any info of where I can get the spacer at? Any info would be helpful

Was it installed properly?

I posted a thread about this a few weeks ago. I had the same thing, but I fixed it.

Thanks for the input. I inspected the left side and it feels a bit loose near the back side. I think I need to get spacer for a bolt because its moving very slightly. I'm going to slap one right now and check it out.
