Side Skirt Removal > what am I doing incorrectly?

[milz50]

I need to replace a stock side skirt with another stock one.

I referenced <a href="http://www.nsxprime.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/007491.html">this</a> thread for assistance.

I believe I followed the directions, but the skirt isn't coming off easy enough (story of my life). I don't know if I missed a screw (this is getting dirty), or am being too gentle. Can someone verify if I have gone through the proper steps?

1) Remove 2 screws from front fender well.
2) Remove 3 screws from rear fender well.
3) Remove black door sill.
4) Remove 2 screws from the underside of skirt (along with their respective fasteners)

I am attempting to slide the skirt towards the front of the car, but it won't budge. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Just give the side skirt a hard push forward and it should come loose.

You've done everything correctly - use the palm of your hand or side of your fist to thump against the rear of the skirt to dislodge it forward - it should come out after that.
