It would be an incredible feat if you got those off without breaking all the tabs lol

lol Yeah, that's probably why you don't see them in the For Sale section too often, especially with all clips/tabs.

I used a trim removal tool and managed to get them out without breaking a single clip / tab though. There were 12 of them total and all 12 will be included, with no broken tabs (see pics). The key was feeling where they were and popping them out one at a time (pulling straight up)... quickly, but carefully.

Interestingly enough, I hadn't known about it being so difficult to remove without breaking, until after I had already removed them.

Would I want to do it again, knowing how delicate they are? Not really.

lol, I've been meaning to repaint one of my sideskirts but have been holding off because i didn't feel like buying new door sills. You have showed me that if I am careful, I can get them out. Already got the trim tools. Thanks for this.
