Sideskirt removal help please!

Hi

My lovely CLS320 hit nasty rock under the car and ripped several holes in the passenger side skirt. Dealer price was just silly so thought it can't be that hard to take off and either replace or repair. Wrong!

I have tried to undo the screws?? underneath skirt and they twist round but don't come out, anyone know what i am doing wrong or even better have any instructions for removing a side skirt on W219 CLS.

Any help appreciated. I should add, Im new to fixing cars as you may have guessed, but out of work with little money so trying to fix stuff myself now.

Many Thanks

Steve
