Installing sideskirts

Hey guys, I have some factory sideskirts off a ST205 that i have put onto my car and they seem to fit okay (just holding them there). I have painted them and now want to put them on. At the front wheel well there is one screw hole where i can screw it in to the body which is fine, but the back doesn't have any, and i don't know how to attach the sides. I just tried using Sicaflex which is like a strong glue and it didn't hold them there. What is the best way to attach them to the car? Thanks alot guys.
My car is a ST184 celica

drill more holes in the side skirts and add more screws...if you dont they will rattle. best fixing points are normally inside your wheel arches. good luck

if it came off, then youre using the wrong sikaflex
purchase the correct one, and they will NEVER come off 
seriously, go talk to a shop that sells a lot of them and ask, or ring sika yourself and find out.
that and a few screws, and youre laughing

Warrior has the right idea...
Although if your skirts meet back up with the car and overlap inside the door maybe add one or 2 screws there too... for strength and stability....
