The ones I installed with double sides tape, After about a year one came loose and I cleaned everything and then used silicone and they have been holding good.

Best way is to remove your front wheels and then remove the plastic wheel well lining in front of the coves. All you need to do is remove the screws and you can then get your hand/arm up into the area.
Depending on which type of screen you have, some have double-sided tape and some, like Racemesh, require silicone adhesive. Just make sure you clean the area well before hand.
If you use silicone, it might be a good idea to install some plastic ties through the mesh and connect to a dowel rod or some other device to hold the screen in place while the silicone cures.

another tip...while you are in there take a look at your PCM area....look around and make sure no water can get in there from the wheel well shield not fitting well against the fender. Also, when washing your car, avoid squirting water into the gill opening on the passenger side. A humid environment for your PCM, with all it's connectors is something to avoid as much as possible.

But you can just cut your wheels sharply and you will have access to the screws that hold the access panel on. That's the way I did it when I had to reinstall a screen that had partially came loose.
