Question L-tuned side skirt mounting clips

I just received my L-tuned side skirts from Sewell Lexus the other day, but it did not come with the mounting clips. I called Sewell and they told me to reuse the existing clips, which I've heard is not advised, if you can even get them off without breaking them.

Is there someplace where I can get new clips?

you can get them from a Toyota dealer. I'll bet Sewell would send you a set free though. Have you talked to Darrel?

Apparently Darrel is out on vacation. I ended up talking to his summer intern. I never knew dealerships had interns. Anyway, I'm still waiting for a response about getting replacement clips.

those clips should have been included in your kit.

I dont know of any way to remove the old clips without breaking them.

Unless you're in a rush to install, just wait for Darrel to get back. The kit comes with clips. As for the intern, let's just say he dosen't know too much.
