Default Question about C4 rocker panel.

Hey guys,
When I pruchased my car the drivers side rocker panel had separated from the car in front of the rear tire. Is this held on by adhesive or is there a fastener that broke? Nothing is cracked, how was this thing originally attached. I think it popped out when someone tried to jack it up by the "Jacking points".

I'm almost positive it is just a few bolts holding it on. I planned on removing mine to have them repainted and I think that is all that I found.

Scorp,
I saw the bolts along the bottom. The part that is popped out is where the rocker butts to the door, right in front of the rear tire. Is it possible mine is warped?

On my 95' there is a torx head screw that is inside the rear inner wheel well's near the bottom that threads into the rocker panel. It helps pulls the rocker panel in. :)
