Default How do you remove the OEM sideskirts?!?

I tried getting them off so I could get to my fender bolts, but I ****ed up the damn plastic clip towards the front! I Figured it would be easier to ask if I was missing something rather than pulling harder and ****ing something up worse than I already have. So do they pull straight off, or at an angle or what?!?

you have a del sol right? well, i have a 00 hatchback.

im pretty sure sides skirts all come off the same way for hondas.
well, you should have a few screws in the front, inside the tire well. about 3 or 4 screws on the bottom of the skirt. then, you should be able to slide the skirt towards the front. it should come right off.

putting it back on is different from taking off.

If it doesn't want to slide forward, try tapping the back of it with a rubber mallet.

I have had to do it that way and it usually works like a charm. Don't have to beat it with the mallet..just taps. Putting it back on is easier. It just snaps back on and you put the screws back in.

to put back on...

take off the white clips off the car and put it on the skirt. just line it up to the holes and push it in, it should click right in. and just screw the screws back.
