Removing the side skirts (sill extensions)
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?
