As title on the sill where the two pieces meet there is a gap the skirts just meet and don't overlap as they should? Any ideas, don't think the wings are out

Is the end of the skirt at the front pushed back up against the arch? and are your arches straight?

there is always a half inch-ish gap between the fin and the skirt, the overlapping bit underneath should cover it, but they dont ever butt design to design if that makes sense.

if they are miles out your front wings are probaly pattern ones but there is a gap they dont close right up.

Wings are genuine and are right back, I'm pretty sure my arches are straight

If you have had any work done to the rear edge of the sill or arch lip, it will make the fin part of the skirt sit funny. Best option if this is the case will be to shape the back edge of the skirt fin with a dremel or stanley knife so it can move forward more along the sill to close down the gap.

Mine don't even meet! It has had some arch work in the paste but the lip remained (wasn't touched) if you know what I mean, so I don't think the shape is out?

the lower you drop the fin part down the quarter the longer it will make it. you could possibly do this and fit spacers in between the sill and side skirt. mines never met so i never fitted them.
