Default how do you remove ej2 sideskirts???

probably some easy question, BUT after the driver side one fell off, I was gonna do the ek sideskirt swap...but I can not get the passenger side one off for the life of me. all of the screws in the bottom of them have been removed, and they still will not come off...anyone got anything?

make sure al the screws at the bottom are out, then there is one maybe 2 in the front wheel well. Then just push the entire skirt towards the front wheel and its off

all of them are out, even the ones in the front. I had to take the fenders off so I know I got those out...but when you say push the skirt, I tried that, I jsut may not have been pushing hard enough. ehh...its took wet outside to do it....damn rain!

I thought you pushed it towards the rear of the car? Either way, once the screws are out, slide the skirt and then it will pull off, leaving the clips in the body of the car.

make sure you got all those little plasic clips out as well. It won't slide anywhere with them in. Once you get them all out, you ought to be able to pull the skirt down a bit and slide it.....

nah.... not the white ones..... underneath the sideskirt, there are black plastic screw thingies.... you have to use a phillips and screw the center part out, then you just pull the expanding part out and you're good to go.
