if you dont want to drill holes under the car, tap into the edge of the fender where the skirt "screws in" to the fender.. then use 3m double sided tape to hold the fender to the car.. wont be as sturdy as using the 8-10 bolts that hold it from underneath, but whatever.

had the same problem with my navan sides. 3m double sided tape and 2 screws on both wheel wells will do fine!

two fronts you gonna reuse the stock holes from the fender. then drill one underneath to hold it. you can use silicone inside the screw to prevent from rusting.
the 2nd piece. you can drill 3 holes and do the same thing by applying sealant before you put the screws in. then at edge by quarter panel, i made a slot same size as mounting on the side skirt then use 3-4 zip ties to hold it.
then use 3mm from the top.

I used self tapping screws underneath the car, every other hole. Hit it with some paint to prevent rust (after almost 3 years there was none). If u buy the skirts nwe they will come with oem tape and that's the best. Otherwise 3m and use a heatgun when applying

Doe's that oem tape goes where the side skirt and door get together? Any idea of where can I get that tape from?

Yeah it should come on the skirts pre installed from Nissan. Use 3m on the little squares on the inside of the skirt
