Removing SE skirts

I've got some bell-end who won't take no for an answer wanting the skirts off my touring because he's too f*****g lazy (or too tight-fisted) to get a set off eBay. :rolleyes:

How do the clips on the bottom come off, please?

I've sussed that the front bit (on the wing) has a 10mm-headed bolt, it's just the bit under the doors I can't work out.

TIA
Stuart.

(TBH, I wonder if it would be better to just break the bloody skirts to fettle him because I'm sure he's either going to want them for nowt or nowt much)

There is a pinch-strip on the clips at the bottom, where if you squeeze and tug (oo-er) the clip is supposed to pop off. However, two decades mean the plastic's all brittle so most of them will just snap. Teach the tight coont a lesson by breaking all the clips off with a screwdriver and making him buy new ones from BMW.

from the inside of the sill i used a flat head screw driver to pry them downwards with sideways movements till they fell on the floor .
