Help! Rocker panel skirt replacement
I damaged the passenger side rocker panel skirt on my 2009 CLK 350 amd need to replace it.
I tried to find installation instructions in WIS and was unable to find any, and a search on EPC didn't reveal the part, so I am somewhat stuck.
So my main question is whether the rocker panel skirt is the same on the base model as on the one with the Sports Appearance Package, which is what mine is. I have tried to scour pictures of cars and skirts, but I am unable to see whether they are the same.
I also assume that I can't find it on WIS is because they don't call it a rocker panel, but something else.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I think there are only two kinds - the one that comes on the base 350 and the AMG one that comes on the 550. Some 350s used the AMG one as well, but those that did also used the AMG bumpers, etc. - basically a 350 that looked like a 550. The differences between the two designs is pretty easy to see. On the AMG one, the two Vs that start at each wheel well are long, and overlap in the middle. On the base one, those two things are much more muted and only extend a few inches.

NO LONGER ACTIVE
I replaced a fender on the C240 so I had to remove that panel. There are plastic trim clips on the bottom (WIS says 10 of them). You also have to remove the door sill trim panel. There may also be some plastic trim clips on the ends, in the fender liners.
