Is it normal to have that much gap space between the skirt and body of car?

I dont know if its normal. But mine on the drivers side has started to do the same thing. It is pulling out in the middle, I have tried to pop it back in place but it seems to have warped a bit.

this is from the pass side. but i have it on the drivers side too.
when i go get the car painted, maybe i'll stick some type of fastner to get ride of that.

i have that gap too except i have a 95 so mine aren't clipped in like yours.

I have a gap too because they are not clipped just doublesided tape on both sides. For your case in that pic, looks like your fender is off preventing the skirt to get closer to where the door is. I just deal with the gaps, each time I redo it with double sided tape again it holds for a few days then comes off.

Yeah dude, thats your Fender sliding out of place. You can pull the skirt; and unbolt the bottom of the fender, so that you can Re-Attach it properly. When the Fender is flush, you can replace your skirt, (those sliding tabs are tricky, you have to have the front one in the skirt, and the rest lined up to slide in then fasten the first one) Or you can yank all of them out (some will probably break, they're only a few dollars at your local dealer though ) and set them all into the skirt and attach it as a whole.

If you didn't understand any part of that, Trust me, you'll understand when you pull the skirt.

FYI; your car does alot of shakin and viberating durring it's lifetime, so it's only natural that your fenders shake out of place a bit. Now we're talking about on a nanoscopic scale; but after 10-15 years, It starts showing!! You may want to spend $20 and replace those black fender clips that hold your screws in while you're there, it'll ensure another 10 years before it starts to gap again

you may be able to find your part numbers here or you can always just explain it to the parts department at your local toyo dealer. Dont forget to buy a TRD hat while you're there

Double sided tape is FTL. TRD Hats are FTW!
