The best way to remove oem sideskirts?

Anyone know the best way to remove oem sideskirts without breaking the clips that attach on the sills? There's hardly any info on removal. Or should I just say "screw it" and rip them off.

If you've taken out all the screws and clips that you can, then you just need to firmly pull. I can't remember, but I think pushing them forward, or back helps (mine slid in one direction about 1/2'').

Still managed to break 1 clip on one side, and 2 on the other and I was overly careful...

Remove all the bolts/screws, and just pull em off like mentioned above. The clips snap into each other, and are available at the dealer pretty cheap if you happen to break any.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if the clips were replaceable. Who cares now if I break em.

^Word.

No matter how careful you are, you're gonna break at least one or two. Damn clips are extremely fragile. I broke a few on mine when I switched to the '06 sport skirts.
