Link for side skirt removal instructions

Don't have a link, but I heard it's straight forward & not difficult. Just unbolt all bolts (inner fender fr & rear, underside, & the ones under the door plate--needs to be gently pryed off). Then strike the skirt from the rear (near the rear wheel)forward towards front of car w/ a rubber mallot, as the clips that hold it are unidirectional. Let me know how it goes as I'm about to mount some after market skirts myself.
Thanks... went great. If I didnt know to slide the skirt forward, I would have pried it away and broke something.
I know you already removed them, but here is reference for anyone else. Also includes how to remove the clips w/o breaking them (After you remove skirt, turn clips 45 deg & pull them out)

Tip for re-installing the stock skirts - remove all the clips & insert them onto the skirt first in their normal (final)orientation: then simply push the skirt/clips straight on into the square holes (MUCH easier than trying to slide it back on, the way it came off!)
p.s. Re after-market skirts: if they're WW's the fit will be much improved if you drill through the lip on the fenders, both front & rear & insert some self-tappers to pull the skirt up tight to the fender.
I found it easiest to drill the holes in the fender first, from the bottom with the skirts off; then offer up the skirt in position & just mark the corresponding position on the skirt by manually marking with a small drill bit inserted from the top. If you use a small drill (1/8") the urethane (which is pretty thick in these locations) virtually closes anyway & only acts as a pilot for the screw. Then remove the tape, stick it on & insert the screws from inside the fender well.
The resulting fit will look much cleaner.
