Removing rocker panels

[1105]

How is this done? I know theres 2 screws, one front one back, that have to come out, then thoes plastic clips.. but theres something else inside the rocker panels thats attacked to the body... I dont want to just YANK the panels until they come off so is there another way?

Hey man, yea im affriad you will have to get the balls, and just yank it!

Theres no other way. The clips have to be pulled out, so after removing the fonr and rear screws, simply grab the front edge and pull upwards, same with the middle and rear.. You have to really yank em to remove them.

Dont worry though, theres no way to break anything, so go ahead and yank..

I started taking them off then saw how many holes there will actually be... got any idea of what I can cover them up with? something that will meet up somewhat flush with the body?

cover them? but why?

If you must, Lowes sells push in button head deals.. They have a slight dome head, but will work in a pinch, to seal the holes. If you want them to match, just spray em with paint, and your good to go.

anybody have pics of the finished product? I dont believe I've seen someone who has done this

couldn't you just cover the holes with like resin or puddy and sand it down- i think that would look much better than domed pins

Poly-urethane resin?

if I fill it in with any sort of putty I'll have to repaint the bottom section again. I'm not looking at doing that right now but I will soon. Until then I just want to get something like rubber plugs and paint them red so they arent as noticable ya know?
