Re: door side skirt
remove door panel . there are a total of 5 nuts holding item on door , 3 are under door panel . sounds like one or more of the studs have broken off . don't worry it can be repaired , remove item , retreive stud , clean , epoxy , set overnite , good to go . i just did mine after removal for paint , check the other studs also . you may want to back them out and epoxy them , i did .

Re: door side skirt
If its bowing out. Then the metal hold down strip is damaged. You will need to bend it back into somewhat its original shape.
Or, some of the pop rivets that hold the rubber onto the metal strip are gone. You can just re-pop rivet that.
But to get it off, Tom is correct. 5 nuts, 3 are behind the door panel
