Fixing black plastic sill.

The front part of the black plastic sill on the passenger side has dropped a bit( about half an inch), and is loose. It is the bit that the running boards fix too. It is only the very front foot or so, where it meets the black plastic that goes around the front wheel arch.
Does anyone know how this is fastened to the car body? There are no screws visible, so I wondered if it pushed into place and was held with some sort of clip. I have tried pushing the sill back up into place but it still drops about half an inch or so.

Thanks.

Graeme.

Hi Graeme,

It will slide back in AND then you need a plastic rivet - hence the drop. Have a look at this thread to help shed some light...
