Maybe someone with experience with chime in, but I believe on the side vents you need to take off the front tire and remove that wheel well panel to access the inner part of the vent.

Oh.........it did say "instalation" methods........
Either way, I believe double sided tape or velcro would be best options.
The one's I bought came with double sided tape, if that helps any.

Mine came with the doublesided tape and it didnt last.I had the side cove screens and ended taking them out. I am also looking for a way to hold them in.Someone said on a earlier post about epoxy them in.
