Side Skirt Weather Seals
Bought the side skirt weather seals that are between the amg side skirts and the body. The stealership charger me double what I might have bought these on line. Has anyone replaced these seals? I thought it would be a simple job but it appears that I may have to remove the entire skirt to insert the seals at the two ends. Apparently the fasteners are very fragile and break easily.

Yeh those are tricky.
You will likely break most of the clips, from experience you can also break the skirt where the clip sits into.
My best experience was to pop off all clips on and under the sill, then pull the skirt out from the bottom which levers the clips off on the sides...if you try to pull the sides directly out you will have a higher chance of breaking the skirt resulting in use of glue to attach new clips.
Goodluck^^

Yea, those are the ones. Dumb me, I ordered them from the MB dealer and they cost $37. apiece for the fronts and about $25. for the rears. Probably get them for half that on-line. I have the part numbers if you want them.
