Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

All done, found it hard to pull the first one off, used hair dryer to warm the adhesive up then used plastic tyre levers to give it a start, had to wear thin gloves as I just couldn't get enough grip with my bare hands.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi and help I've purchased a pair of carbon fibre sill scuff guards ( not the illuminated ones ) when I asked the OPC how easy they were to fit the reply was you just pull the old ones off, clean the adhesive off and stick the new ones in there place. Is it that easy ?, I've given the existing ones a little tug but they seem stuck pretty hard, also these new ones are a lot longer and go partway up the door jamb. Does anyone know of any instructions on the web etc, I've Googled but found very little. steve I've posted this in the 997 area but I presume no difference in fitting for 996.

It is supposed to be as easy as they told you:

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

All done, found it hard to pull the first one off, used hair dryer to warm the adhesive up then used plastic tyre levers to give it a start, had to wear thin gloves as I just couldn't get enough grip with my bare hands. OPC wanted £99 plus VAT to fit them, it took me an hour .
