I had the same issue with the Umnitza side skits. The front kept coming loose as the plastic was a bit thin or too flexible. A quick fix for a DIY would be to interweave the plastic clip. In other words, clip the outside clips normally in the top position and the middle clip underneath the clip position. This holds it on real tight and allows for the outside clips to grip or clip on. Its hard to explain but when you are looking at the side skirts and the clip on the car it you will see what I am trying to explain.

Thanks for the information - I still haven't upgraded to the MTEC front / sides. I oscillate between deciding to buy OEM and the replica. While I have heard many people say they were thrilled with the replicas, I have had concerns that they might not fit properly or the materials might be of a lower grade.
