Removing the side skirts (sill extensions)

(1/5) > >>

VC:
I have this guide:



–   Remove bolts -2-.
–   Before removing, heat sill extension -1- in bonding surface area -4- with hot air blower -V.A.G 1416-.
–   Loosen adhesive tape -4-, by carefully inserting a plastic wedge -5- between sill -3- and sill extension -1-.
–   As soon as adhesive tape comes loose, lift sill extension -1- up -arrow- out of retaining strip.


Has anyone actually done it though? did you manage to get the skirts off intact and in one piece?

A hair dryer and patients my boy. You would really have to yank at them to split the plastic.  :innocent:
