Installing M door sills
What is the best way to install the M door sills. I have read all you do is remove the old and replace the new, but how do you accomplish this without breaking anything. Thanks for any help and/or advice.

By the looks of the drawing on Realoem, those little clips should just pop out. You may want to have some new ones on hand in case they decapitate themselves. I would just pry gently with a flat trim remover, and see what happens. I recall someone on this forum said they did not take long to replace.

I was determined to get the M door sills on the car immediately, so I used a flat tool to try and pry out the clips - I got the door sills off, but the grooves that the clips fit into ripped, and the clips stayed in the body. I had to pry them out, and some of the clips broke. I didn't care so much about the stock door sills as I don't think they are going back on, but I may need to remove the M sills sometime in the future. So the moral of the story is use the right tool. I'm checking around for it now. :thumbup: Have Fun, Rick |
