Can anybody give me a clue as to how the side skirts are removed from an E55 (W210) - I've only had it up on jack and I know there are half a dozen or so bolts on the underside of eack skirt (8 & 10mm),,,,,,,,,,,but are they fixed elsewhere too, as they seem reluctant to move with the bolts removed from the underside.

I don't want to force obviously, as don't want to damage. Need to repair a small crack hence the reason for the removal in the first place.

I'm assuming its simple - but so am I?!

Thanks

Mark.

Forum search and google are your best friends when looking for these types of things .. honestly if i had the time to google it so should anyone else .. but here i saved you the trouble .. Nice intro post BTW ..

No special tool needed. you need to peel off the black stripe in the superior part of the skirt (open 2 doors & you will see a black stripe sticker) remove it, remove 5 or 6 screws, remove the lower screws & they pop of very easy (you need to pull it to front a little to desengage it to the fender clip)


you can thank Fabio D for that info !!!!!

Thanks for that (and Fabio D) for the info.

It was the black strip that threw me - I wasn't sure whether if I peeled it back I'd damage it.............but had wondered if there were additional screws under there!

I appreciate your help.

Cheers

Hi Fabio

One more question. Re the black strip. I assume it is stock down? Is it re-usable when taken off, or, does it have to be replaced?

Thanks

Mark.

Hey mate! i re-use this stripes in my car and works perfect i want to replace it cause a previouse skirt paint put some "blue paint fogger" in the driver's side stripe and i dont like it, a friend quote me the stripes at 16$ each. not major.. But if yours are fine you would re-use it

Thanks Fabio, will try and re-use. But do you have part numbers for the stripe if I have a problem?

Thanks

Mark.

You can always bring the stripe to the mb parts dept and they will match it with the parts # on their parts site and order them for you. No worries...hope that helps.

Thanks for that, although my one dealer here I don't really have that much faith in. What normally happens is that I give them the part number if I can find it.
On three occassions they've had my VIN number and managed to order wrong parts for me..................so I like to educate them.
Maybe your dealers there are better then over here!
