Here is a few pics.
Before...
This was the worst of the tear-outs. Front edge, on driver side.
The clear Gorilla tape worked for a season to keep the skirts from completely tearing loose.
The new skirts had a different radius where it returns under the side.
A little scribing and trimming had those fitting decent.
Not much tire clearance. Maybe these things are intended to be trimmed to fit, I don't know.
A little trimming here made me comfortable with the clearance. Had to do the same thing on both sides of the center drop area.
And after a little touch-up paint, they don't look to shabby. Need to do a little cleaning tomorrow before the tire skirts go back on.
This stuff was a decent color match for blended touchups on the typical RV white.
