side skirt (Lower Trim Sill) replacement

I damaged my sideskirt on my 2008 997 TT and need to replace it. I found a dismantler that has one, but I want to replace it myself. How difficult is it to remove, and any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

There are small clips that hold it in place - I think 4-6 along the side, maybe one up by the wheel well.

I watched it when I had mine all done at delivery (our guys painted out the lowers - took us 9 formula revisions - yeah, I'm ****). Snaps in pretty easily and clips/screws hold it along the side.

I think if you get up under there with a mirror you might see what you need to do and where the clips are.

Hi Mike,

Did you ever replace the door sill? Can you give me any pointers? I have to replace mine too.

Thanks,
Paul
