i am going to be fitting side bars soon and have seen that you have to remove 7 plastic clips or what ever they are that holds the plastic side trim on.
how do you get them off,or is it a case of break them and get some new ones?

if you check out the threads from chesters he might help as he took his side steps off recently or RLD as he has taken the sills off.
Hi did this recently with the kind assistance of Discowex you just pull off the strip the clips should come away intact with strip.Googsy

Hi Dave, its very simple to do, if you look at the clips you will see a small flat on either side of the head. I simply used a large flat screwdriver and gently levered downwards on the inner circular head. You will see that the inner round bit starts to slide out of the remaining part. Just pull with your fingers and the inner part will come out, sometimes with the outer part as well. Then the remaining outer part can be levered out the same. When I say levered, you can almost pull these out with your fingers. You will need a very short crosshead screwdriver to remove the 2 screws at the rear of the trim by the rear wheels. When you pull the trim off, you will also find it leaves a row of yellow fixings. I found it better to remove these with pliers and a small screwdriver and refit them to the side trims before refitting it all back together. If you have any problems, PM me for my phone number and I will talk you through the stages as you do the work, all the best, Chris.
