How do you go about removing the sideskirts if all the little plastic screws are stripped out? That's how they are on my '96 hatch and I need to get them off so I can paint them again.

 

Just pull like theres no tomorrow lol.

If you pull on them like at an angle sort of, you can probably get it off without anything breaking. I've done it...

 

i wondering the same, i need to remove my fenders and the last bolts are behind the sideskirt. Somebody chime in with how to remove these bastards without screwing up the snap in clips.

 

My trick is as follows.

You need:
A thick towel or blanket
Needle-nose pliers

1) Lay on the ground, and find the stupid clip that's stripped out.
2) Fold the towel/blanket into 4th. Place it on the ground under the clip.
3) Yank with the needle-nose pliers. The towel will cushion your hand when it slips off the clips.
4) Go to Honda and buy a grip of new clips.
