Side skirt gap on SS?

Just recently had both my sideskirts repainted and there is a slight gap at the back on both sides. I can't for the life of me remember if it was there or not, can anyone out there look at their sideskirts and tell me if there is a gap? Pictures showing gap or no gap would be great too! This is what mine look like:

Mine is like that too. Unfortunately, but it's really not noticable. There is a screw they goes in your rear wheel well that is supposed to keep it up..even with mine back in though it still is down a little though

Mine is like that a little on the front passenger side. It happened 1 winter. Must have got some water in there and froze and pushed it out a little.

Yeah it looks that way, SlowCobaltLT showed me pictures of his balt and it does not have the gaps mentioned. I am going to the bodyshop today to see what they say.

The car is currently at the body shop, the guy at the shop didn't say anything when I said to fix the gap in the side skirts so I assume it's not going to be a problem to fix it.


Kinda funny though just as I dropped off my car a 2007 red SS/SC pulled up.

Should be as simple as undoing that bolt in the fender and pushing it back in and retightening. You can see where mine has slipped I just haven't gotten around to pushing it back in.
