Question Side skirt popped off... how to reattach?

I know, this should probably go in the repairs forum, but it's deader than Mischa Barton's career over there...

Earlier this week I was parked next to a curb and stupidly knocked the rear of the side skirt into the curb as I was backing up, so it fell off. None of the clips are broken, fortunately, but when I tried to slide it back on the clips, it doesn't feel very secure. It looks like they actually used glue to help keep the ends stuck to the car (especially where it sweeps up into the front well), but I'm not seeing any screws or other means of attachment.

I found someone who had it worse off than I did and actually broke one of the clips, but I'm still clueless on how to do this by myself. Any advice on potentially doing this myself before I take it to the dealer and get charged $300 for glue?

From my understanding the clips are still on the car correct?

If so, remove all clips and put them onto the side skirt and go from there. You also may have a damaged front clip #36 & #39 but I would check on that.

Yep, they're all still on the car! So... take them off and then re-attach?
