got any pics you can post?

If the side skirt wraps up over the sill (on to the door up to the rubber) it maybe that the fibreglass is too thick there and it needs skinning down.

Alternatively, the edge of the skirt maybe too square for the bottom of the door - close the door as far as it will go and check to see where it catches, mark it and assess from there (if its the top, take it back a bit, if its the edge round the corners etc...)

When I fitted the Vauxstyle skirts on my old hatch I had the same problem, as Ade said though it was the fibreglass was a little too thick. Quick bit of sanding and a few minor chops and it went on ok.
