Re: HELP NEEDED - UNDER CAR TRIM REMOVAL
Never done this yet but from other posts you have to remove the front and rear inner wings and also the front wing (fender).
Once these are removed it will give you access to the bolts to remove the side skirt.
Hope this helps

Re: HELP NEEDED - UNDER CAR TRIM REMOVAL
I used this guide last year to do mine - it's very good. I would add that you should also have a close look at the wing panel bottom lead corner when you have it off. The sealant hardens on this and comes away from panel creating a moisture trap. Also mask tape the door front lower corner as it is easily scratched by the bracket on the sill.Gazza wrote:Liam (Z3Cade) did a sill removal thread.
