Have you tried really punting them to get them on. You have to whack them harder than you think you should if that makes sense. Just line everything up and punch them into place.
believe me mate, not as easy as they should be, I spent 2 hours trying to do one of mine and the other went straight on, i think it can be down to luck really

there must be loads of threads on this.
When putting them on, most people struggle to get the clip underneath on correctly.
This is because you push or bang it against the underside of the skirt, which in turn flexes up against the underside of the car. Therefore the cover clip cant clip inside the skirt.
What you need to do is attach the top of the jack cover into the outside of the skirt so that its 'hanging'; then get your fingers between the skirt and underside of the car and get the hanging cover in the palm of your hand and squeeze the cover up and inwards against the skirt.
This means you keep the skirt away from the underside of the car and allows it to clip in easily.
(for some you may need to use a screwdriver or something similair to allow you to get your fingers between the skirt and car)
Its 90% technique

i put vaseline on all the lugs nd gave it a bit o a thump with the palm of my hand. went in no bother
I had the same problem and as mentioned above they need more of a whack to get the buggers on than you might expect. I spent about an hour and a half getting one side on, lost my rag, (as you do after an hour and a half), got the clips in place and hit the b*****d with a rubber mallet, hey presto. The other side took 30 seconds and then never, ever ever take them off again.
put you hand on top of the skirt and push down and with other hand push cover up and they go on every time
This subject must be the most covered on here I glued 2 of mine & another just clipped on dead easy.....just the luck of the draw me thinks ![[:@]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/furious.gif "Furious [:@]")
