Well, i had bought a full body kit and installed it myself...but couldnt get the side skirts on right because i didnt know how to take off the stock ones. So like an idiot i just drilled the aftermarket skirts over the stock skirts. I asked around here, googled it, tried to spot even the slightest lead on what to do. Dead end.
My post on the forum here got close to 80 views and no responses. So as any one would be, i got fed up and took a flat head screw driver and pried them off only to find out that thats how they come off. So here's my write up to remove stock side skirts from an 03 OZ Rally
...
Materials needed:
Philips + Flat head screw driver
Good parking spot or Garage.
Step 1:
Take the flat head screw driver and stick in to a small opening by the rear tire and try to pull the skirt off. You'll notice that there is some sort of adhesive keeping the skirt stuck to the body. Keep inserting the screw driver and prying the skirt off until the top part of the skirt is off the body.
You'll notice that there are grommets holding the center of the skirt to the body. They're easy to remove, just apply enough pressure with the flat head and they pop right out.
Step 2:
Grab your philips screw driver. There are 4 screws on the underside of the skirts keeping them in place. i cant tell you exactly where they are, but just feel around for them like i did. They're not too hard to unscrew. After you remove the screws theres not much left to do.
Step 3:
In the front wheel-well, there are two push grommets holding the skirts. Take your flat head and pop out the center of the grommet and pull them out. After they're out, the side skirts will fall right off.
Step 4:
Install your aftermarket skirts and youre all set. It's just that easy
