Romoving SE sideskirts
Moderator: martauto
2 push in the middle trim screw type thingys, 5 sandwich clips under the sill, 1x8mm screw in the sill. The skirt should pull off the body. you might want to get a wide flat blade something or rather with padding to prise the skirt from the body. Its a bit awkward and can be abit stubborn.
The front part has a 10mm plastinut behind the wing that you will have to undo if you are removing it entirely.

ok, the first clear day ive had since my original post so i thought i would have a go at getting these sideskirts off.
So far i have unscrewed 2 screws, 1 either side at the front right at the wheel arch. I have also come across what looks like 4 plastic rivets on the edge of the skirts inside the arch of the back wheel. 1 of which came out but i think it was just the rust from the arch that let it come out.
Without a jack its pretty difficult to see what it looks like under the car, im basically trying to do this by feel and its not going too well.. it feels like the things are almost welded on
So, if anyone has any pictures of the clips that are used or how they work then i would be very thankfull if you could post them up for me
Cheers,
Beav

The clips under the skirt will be easier to get off when you pull the top of it is free. The 4 clips at the back of the skirt are push through fittings. get a small allen key and push in the middle. Then the clip should come out.
