How to remove side skirts?

I want to remove my side skirts in order to fix up some surface rust behind them. How do I remove them?

Thanks
Steve

pretty simple..... for amg side skirts there is one screw under the car near the front fender on the side skirt.... remove that..... next underneath there are five or six black rectangular places clips with a plastic screw in them. pry them off preferably with a flat head screwdriver.... once you get them off start towrds the front of the car.... there is a platic piece that clips onto the fender carefully pull the rocker forward and remove it. then also very carefully just pull it back working your way to the back of the car since now there are only platic clips holding them in if you happen to break them theyre fairly cheap at the dealer. i hope this comes to some use to you if you have any question just PM me
