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.

Suggestion

These can be a pain to remove as they will normally be rusted in place, so a good dose of penetrating oil the night before will assist, be prepared to buy a new set from Porscheshop or similar when refitting and give them a good dose of waxoyl to prevent corrosion.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Seen all about PU Removal back and from (Now got the Back PU Removal down to 5 minutes with new fixings) But would like to remove the side skirts to check what is all like underneath Or should I leave well alone Regards

POST 2Original post

If it aint't broke, dont fix it![ ] You will find a stone chip protection painted body colour on the sill. the mounting aluminium mounting strip and an adhesice sealing strip which seals the top of the PU sills to the body. However, if it is the aerokit polyurethane moulding, and you want to dismantle, you will find it is held in place with a row of countersunk self tappers on the underside, which fit into 8 special U clip cage nuts located on one of the chassis seams on the steel sill underside. These can be a pain to remove as they will normally be rusted in place, so a good dose of penetrating oil the night before will assist, be prepared to buy a new set from Porscheshop or similar when refitting and give them a good dose of waxoyl to prevent corrosion. Front and rear they are held in place with plastic fixings whichhold the PU onto the inner wheel arches. Everything is explained fully in the Aerokit "Cup" Technical Bulletin, which I am sure if you asked Richard Hamilton nicely, he would send to you?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

THanks Enclosed is a photograph I have the Aero Wing I think and possibly the Poyurethene side skirts I presume I can tell if they are fitted by the screws holding it on No Screws No Aerokit QED!
