Before I rip off any trim, how do you remove these?

Now greatly regret selling the Outlander. MPG of the FL2 is atrocious and so are the fuel bills. Fun though 😎

Remove trim screws, remove trim, and unbolt brackets - the nut serts turned on mine but managed to jam them with a screw driver.
At least I think that's all I did.

You need to rip the trim off
Watch this video from about 3min 50 seconds. It explains how to get the sill trims off...

Getting them back on afterwards can be a challange, I needed to replace a few of the fasteners to do it properly. PowerfulUK sell them if you need them. FL2 2007 2.2d Auto SE. Baltic Blue.

Magic, cheers. Are rivnuts easy to remove? FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

you would need to drill them out, but you don't need to, just leave them there....

EDIT: To be clear the rivnuts are threads rivited into the sills, the brackets bolt into them. So, once the plastic cover is off it is just a case of unbolting the brackets.

Ok they are coming off fine. I see there are multiple rubber ports on the bodywork. I have Lanoguard - would it be sensible spraying some in each hole to protect the sills? FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

Last question: would these be the right clips for putting the trim back on? Some snapped when removing the trim

I am not sure, are the existing ones two part? Those don't look like they are?

I cannot remember but which I used but if they are two part then I am pretty sure it was these....

btw. I have no experience of rustproofing the freelander (it is on my list!) but I would have thought the more lanoguard you get get in there better, as long as you don't block drain holes of course. FL2 2007 2.2d Auto SE. Baltic Blue.

Can’t really tell if the originals are 2 part or snapping, if that makes sense. They certainly

have a look at the start of this video, about 19s in, he talks about making sure the clip is fitted.
&ab_channel=powerfulukltd
These are the powerfulUK clips I linked to. I think the originals are all black but on the powerfulUK ones the yellow bit clips into the bodywork and the white bit clips into the plastic. You are then supposed to push the two together to fasten.

All that said, I found this pretty hard to do right. It was much easier to fit the complete clip (ie both halves mated together) to the plastic trim then push the barb into the bodywork. ie treat it as one part. FL2 2007 2.2d Auto SE. Baltic Blue.

I can confirm that the white and yellow clips work perfectly for putting the trim back on. Everything is Lanoguarded and put back together.

Dunno if the side steps are salvageable though. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

Excellent.
I have a pair of side steps stuck behind my bins. I don't know what I am going to do with them but they definitely are not going back on the car. FL2 2007 2.2d Auto SE. Baltic Blue.

Yeah, the steps are in perfect condition however the mounts underneath are very much not. Don’t know if they are salvageable and therefore sellable. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues
