My drivers side sill cover has cracked and I need to remove it to do a repair. I did a search and the results seem to suggest that I just need to remove the two plastic screws and the on metal screw. I have done this but it shows no signs of coming off. I dont want to force it as i dont want any more cracks. Mike

thumbsup ..... stuck down with 2 strips of double-sided tape IIRC.

Edit.... make that 2 very wide strips of double sided tape.

Mike - I have a spare pas sill cover in the garage if you need a pic of the underneath to show the above.

So just a case of carful levering?


Thanks

OK Garry / Manerinvx,

Thanks I will give it a go, tommow I might try warming it up with a hair drier to losen it up.


Thanks for the advice,



Mike.
