    How do you remove/replace door sills?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Absent me going outside and yanking on my car, can anyone tell me how you go about removing the old and replacing with new? I'm thinking about upgrading them, and just want to know what is involved...

    I'm assuming tabs, or some double sided tape or a combo of the two?

    Thanks!

    There are phillips screws (2 per blade) you can see them when you open the door. SUPER easy

    Re: How do you remove/replace door sills?

    I'm talking about the door sills, not the door blades. The part that covers the lower edge of the door opening.

    Seen here:


    So it's just tape? Like get something wedged underneath and then just yank up on it?

    They might also be called that, but they are called door sills.
