Rocks in my side skirts help

I do believe I have rocks in my side skirts. If I have to stop fast for a red light you can hear something like rocks rolling up very quickly on the right side of my car. And from what I can see there's no simple reach and pull them out because it appears the side skirts are completely closed under the car. I shook the door and its not the door. I knocked around on the bottom of the side skirts and you can hear something in there
I guess the next step is removing them, just wondering anyone has removed their side skirts and could tell me how to, or if its straight forward and easy.

Also have a very annoying sound that sounds like its coming from the gauge cluster but not sure, only happens on some car rides but if it starts it won't stop. Wondering if anyone else had this problem I've already take the gauge cluster out and examined it and the inside area of where it mounts and don't see any debris.

Jump in and get your hands dirty , it's pretty straight forward to remove them.

As for the cluster making noises, ?? These cars make weird rattles and creaks as they age, even more so when there's cold weather. You could go all sound deadening material crazy or just do what otter suggests , "turn up the music".

I'm not 100% since I haven't removed mine but I'm inclined to believe there is no double sided tape holding the side skirts on (from the factory).

It won't take long to find out, a lot less time than this thread used

Lol I wouldn't be surprised if it did use double sided sticky tape. Hell the evolution wing is held together with glue and Velcro! Lmao

Anyway even if tape is involves drive ES style down to the closest AutoZone, get some 3m double sided tape and put it back on. Shouldnt take very long.

Yeah, there is double sided tape on them. I've removed plenty of these off my old Ralliart. When I took mine out, I saw litttle pebbles and sand and what not. Just pop out all the push pins, unscrew the screws from the bottom, and then pull slowly.
