'08 TLS A Spec side skirt feels loose

Hi everyone,
So i installed the A Spec side skirt for my TL-S and after the install i feel like the skirt feels a little wobbly. I mean it's not about to come loose but when i press down on it, there's a little play in it.
Is this normal? It's not loose that its not installed properly but, it feels like its not really that sturdy.

Also, how come the clips that go underneath the a spec side skirt do not clip in as firmly as base side skirt?

Any other aspec kit owners chime in on this? Thanks

Mine is a bit wobbly too. Did you secure all the clips underneath?

Yeah I secured them all but the clips themselves do not feel like they're on tight. This might be causing the side skirt to be wobbly. Wonder if that's normal

Do you have a way to jackup your car and look? Mine's a bit wobbly if i push it down, but it's secure.

I guess ill have to take a look this weekend. Its definitely secure but just the fact that it wobbles when pressed down worries me a little. The little plastic flaps on the side skirt that is fastened underneath by the clip is loose for sure. I don't think the clip can secure it any more than it is... maybe ill put some double sided molding tape on there so it won't move around. weird

i installed my this afternoon and it's not as secure as the original but i don't think it wobbles around unless your using alot of force lol. 4 screws each fender, 3 clips at the bottom, and one clip in the middle between the skirts.

Mine wobbled a bit after my initial install, and on the highway I had a slight vibration on the passanger side. I removed the problem side skirt and realized that I had not installed the white brackets properly. Also, one of the clips underneath would not hold the way it is supposed to. I swapped it out with one from the front skirt from under the car, and it was a better, snugger fit. 7 months later, no issues at all.
