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

Remove trim screws, remove trim, and unbolt brackets - the nut serts turned on mine but managed to jam them with a screw driver.

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

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?

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.

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

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
