Won't go into details (wife did it) - the ground effect panel on the passenger side, the bottom stylish piece that goes from the front wheel well to the rear wheel well on the bottom of the car, got whacked. It is loose at the back, looks like some clips were broken. I don't see any screws to remove, and as it fits into both the wheel wells, it doesn't seem like it can slide forward or backward. How do you get it off and then how do you reattach it? Do you just rip it off and get all new clips when they break?

 

I was thinking it clips in a couple of places and screws in a couple of places. If clips are broken, you will need to replace them. You'll probably need to order through a Mazda parts department, but they shouldn't be very expensive.

 

indeed...call the parts department of your local dealer and ask them what holds the rear section of the lower rocker panel cover on.
