get the plastic off the car, turn them over so they face down and you will see the outlines that need to be cut, be generous on the cutting, tis an easier fit that way.

Hi
Just about to fit my new side steps, if it ever stops raining 
I was going to wax oil the sills after fitting, so that it would be hidden by the plastic covers, but read on the tin something along the lines of 'do not apply to plastic mouldings'. That put me off using wax oil, so brought a can of clear laquer in stead. Not ideal, but a few coats will be better than nothing.
