when i took mine off there were three or four sheet metal screws holding each one on. if the holes are there in the wheel well (you'd have to look around some) then all you'd need to do is go to a hardware store and pick up some new screws. i can't remember how big they were, not very. if the holes aren't there, then find some screws that will fit through the holes in the mudgaurds and drill holes just a bit bigger than the middle solid part of the screws and put them in. you could probably try using double sided body tape, but i don't trust that stuff all that much (my brother's side skirts were put on with it, and they didn't hold very well)

Added mine from a dealer purchase couple years ago. If I remember right, they attached with SS sheet metal screws that need to thread into SS threaded metal pressure clips that are first slipped over each mounting hole. Check your local auto parts store for their display of "Help" brand of fasteners by manufacturer named Motor Mite.

maine winters.... bad idea.

those would be some huge headed sheet metal screws. my holes are exsisting on the body, right in the open, and the same there, look like some big screwes, thought bout throwin some washers on there to and tighten the holes up then use the fasteners to attach the screws in.. sound bad? spring comes, ill paint all the hardware to body match it
