Removing and Refitting Side Skirts

Long been NFP and NLA, at least 5 years I think. Appear very very infrequently on eBay. My parts man found me about 8 pairs from all over Europe which we bought. I sold the rest and have these 4, plus the two on the brand new side skirts I have.

One clip per skirt, at the back, near the rear wheel arch. Have a tendency to come unstuck from the skirt when removing it. The glue isn't great. The harder bit is freeing them from the body without breaking them. I need to check as I can't remember if you can get to them.from inside the rear arch once you've removed the arch liner or if they sit behind the panel over the inside of the rear quarter. If you can get the clips out without breaking them, there is no reason you can't use a bit of glue and glue them back to the side skirt once off.

There are 6 of the other clips that are linked in the posts above. Best get some new of those two as they tend to break as well.

The rivets are a pain to drill out. A combo of steel and aluminium which makes life awkward. Go steady with the drill as you may end up making a mess of the mounting points on the skirt (voice of experience....)
