I don't have side skirts, but I'm guessing that there may be more than one kind out there, and the removal procedure may vary with the kind, thus the lack of response. Pictures would be good.

You're right. Never mind. I assumed for some reason that he was talking about the kind of aftermarket body parts that replace the OEM parts on non-AMG cars. I think of the OEM items as "rocker panel moldings", but I don't know that they have any single agreed name. Don't know how to remove them, either.

I did some searching and could not find much info on removing the side skirts. Has anyone done this? I am installing all my face lift parts today which includes front and rear bumpers and side skirts. There is lots of info on the bumpers but nothing on the skirts.
