Topic #47822 4 posts Started by goferris
hey i just got my new skirts today and wanted to take off the stock ones to fit them. but for some reason i couldn't get them off. wtf!!! i took out the 2 bolts that hold thm in but there are a bunch of little plastic plugs that hold them in underneath. what is the best way to get them off? i tried to pry them out with a screw driver but couldn't. that and i didn't want to damage them at all.
any tips? lemme know. thanks

do yourself a favour. go to your nearest Toyota dealer and order the plastic plugs. you are going to tear them all to shreads. the alternative is a very slim, long screwdriver. get between the plug and the hole and jiggle and wiggle until it pops. i gave that up after 3 or 4. i cut the rest off.
if you're getting rid of your stock skirts, I will buy them. thumbsup.gif
