Wheel arch and door flares

Can some one instruct me on how to install the Wheel arch and door flares. I bought this 2000 GU about 3 weeks ago and last week end a mate of mine who lacks any sence noticed the door arch flare on the drivers side had a slight gap between it and the door, so he gave it a tug and snapped 2 of the mounts off, I removed the screw from inside upper in door and have glued the mounts back on, but can seem to figure out how they go back on as the slot on the two middle mounts face each other. I will eventually buy a replacement but in the mean time would like to get this flare back on, any tips would be appriecated as I cant find anything in my Haynes repair manual..

Thanks in advance

The clips are cheap from Nissan. If you go to their spare parts section they will show you the exploded diagram of all the clips. It should be a clip and push on. Belt on.

Then get your wheel brace out and smash Ol Mate over the head! Who does that!!

Just installed it with the new clips, must have glued middle bracket a slight bit off as there is about a 1 mm gap, but at least the car looks handsom again, can only notice that small gap if ya know its there... Thanks again Mud RunnerTDAttachment 60553
