Hey guys, so the story is I'm doing some body work on my CL and have to remove the side skirts. I live in Canada and its freakin cold right now, how should I go about to remove the side skirts with out breaking anything??

Also I don't want to go to a body shop for undisclosed reasons, Thanks.

 

I think u have to remove clips from the bottom, remove the mudflaps.

Then kick it to the rear and it should come off. There will be some clips left on the body. twist them a little and they'll come off. Put them back on the side skirt first when ur ready to put every thing back on.

 

correct. there are a few clips in the bottom and a few screws in the end. BUT the skirts needs to be pushed towards the front of the car to be removed. to reinstall put all of the hidden white clips on the car first and then slide the skirts towards the rear to lock it in place.

 

Sounds sneaky

 

Disclosed reasons, very sneaky.

 

really?
thats opposite of what i said, but thats how it was on my brother's 03 and my 95 accord. U have to put the clips on the side skirt first, and when installing the skirt, there's no sliding required, it should just go straight in.
I guess CL's are different.

 

yes folow distortedolskool instructions... he helped me when i was stuck removing my side skirt... its was a bit of a pain in the ass removing and putting them back on.

 

yes you are right about the clips going on the skirt first for the reinstall, it is easier that way. it should just be pressed back on. as for the removal i am correct about it sliding to the front. i should of remembered the reinstall method as i had to do it a ton of times.

 

thanks guys, saved me a few broken clips
