Side Skirt coming off?

Anyone know an easy fix for this? Passenger's side sideskirt is coming off. There is a snap/clip but I can't seem to get it to snap back in. Not sure if the female part of the snap (which is attached to the sideskirt) is cracked.

Seems like I need to take the entire sideskirt off to get it to slide into place. Now it looks like the glue needs to be replaced too. I know if I bring it to the dealer it could cost a lot. I'm hoping it'd be covered by warranty. I mean I do have an intake and motor mount so I could be completely voided... (jk) but seriously little things like this piss me off.

Its not a part that's held on by that foam tape? I know the front section thats like that is held on by the tape.
 
i pulled that section back and looked in with a flashlight (since its dark by about 5PM) and there's a white button/disk and I tried to maneuver the black clip/slot which is on the side skirt over this button. I couldn't without pulling the side skirt off more and more.

It's not at this point really falling off it just seems the button popped out of the slot on the side skirt I ran it through the spray stall today to try to get the crap off the car. It may have forced it off with the high pressure rinse. I suppose I'll take another look but I'm not all that savvy with body work. I hope its an easy fix so maybe I can swing by the dealer and they can pop it back on if I can't figure it out.
 
all you have to do it use a flat screw driver or puddy blade to "pry" it forward a bit so you can get some 3M double sided tape in there and your golden.
 
I guess thats what happens when you rally your car off-road.

by rally u mean live in new england then yes... congrats btw

i tried a small flat screw driver but it was dark. 3m tape won't work the clips are interfering and not engaging so the skirt is pushed out 1/4" from where the tape/glue is holding it in. I think if I get a small flat head screw driver i can work the button into the side skirt clip.
