Can't see the gap. Can you take a closeup pic? 5mm is quite large, and I certainly cannot see a black line that a gap of that size would create.
I figure some 3M tape on back side of skirt would solve any issues.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes you can not see the gap on the photo, the car is not with me at the moment, this pic was taken to show someone the car. Uhm those plastic is quite hard, not sure if tha 3M tape would work?

3M double sided foam tape should work. The holding power of that stuff is incredible.
Heat the skirt with a hair dryer, apply tape, press into position and hold for a couple of minutes. Re-attach wheel well screw after a 10 minute cool down period.
