What bolt holes are you talking about ?

M-Tech 2 sill covers don't actually bolt on. The top edge hangs off plastic clips, and the bottom edge has plastic clamps that clamp the plastic sill cover to the flange on the bottom of the metal sill. Where the sill goes into the wheel arch, it's secured with plastic rivets.
