Default Side Skirts Removal and Replacment

Just got the car. Damaged the passenger side skirt. A replacement is available on ebay. Does anyone have instructions on how to remove and replace the side skirt?

Thanks

Can you be more specific? I can give you the details, but I need to exactly which part you mean. Are you referring to the sill?

Does this picture help. May be called rocker panel. Not sure. It is the panel below the trim.

I think you are referring to the chrome trim?

Nope. The long thin black panel below the chrome trim.

I believe it is a simple bolt on. In fact almost positive.

1. Open front and rear door and remove the black rubber seal cover.
2. After rubber seal removed. You should see couple screws, remove it all. I think there are 3. Front, middle and rear.
3. Remove all clips under the side skirt
4. Remove front and rear bolts that around the radius fender that attached to the side skirt.
5. Pull out the side skirt starting from the front left to right side. All there is 11 or 12 plastic clips that attached to the side skirt.

I hope this helps.
