I have the original plastic ones in place and I was wondering if there were some instructions out there for removal of them prior to replacing with these new ones?

Just run tooth floss under the sills and you'll be able to pull them off.

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.

Hey guys,
Need some help....
Picked up a brand new set of oem stainless steel door entry guards off ebay the other day...Man, talk about quality! Should have done this a long time ago...
I have the original plastic ones in place and I was wondering if there were some instructions out there for removal of them prior to replacing with these new ones?
Any help would be appreciated. Thx, Jon
Thanks man!
They sure are on tight though....I just looked under the weather stripping and verified they were not connected any other way.
So basically floss them off eh? Do you need anything else to get the process started? No plastic trim / moulding tools??
Nope. The only other thing I used was Goo Gone, to get rid of the residue left from the double sided tape.
My new sills just pressed into place after removing the old set...

If you do this mod yourself, go buy some interior molding removal tools...found here:

Use these and you can pry them off without scratching paint or killing your hands. The one on the passenger side was very stubborn, but I finally got it out after it broke into 3 pieces....
Make sure you have some
Goof Off
too. Spray this on the oem adhesive for a couple minutes and use the molding tools to scratch it off. It won't scratch the paint I promise...just don't go too hard at it and let the Goof Off do it's job...Then wipe down a few times with towels to remove, and repeat the process until all the adhesive off and you have a bare paint finish left.
All I can say is that this took about an hour + to get both sides of the car, but the oem Tequipment door sills in stainless steel are definately worth the upgrade. Wow, quality and finish is second to none.
I can post some picts if anyone wants to see them. Just at the office killing time for a 700pm meeting. Wish I was out driving. Damn it's so nice here this evening.
Jon
I really like those stst sills! WANT!
And total thread hijack, Boxtaboy, your sig shows just the "Porsche" letters in the back. Where did you get that????
Thanks!
Sure...that's the PORSCHE lettering from the Panamera sedan that I put on my rear trunk. You can order it from your local dealer parts department. I got mine from Suncoast Porsche.
