Remove 16V Scirocco skirts

Bill, it's tricky but recent experience tells me...

1. Do it on a hot/warm day - the adhesive is more pliable, and the arches will bend better when levered off
2. Start at a low corner of each section and gently prise enough away to grip with the fingers
3. There's really no mileage in carrying on prying with a flat tool - pulling gently a few mm at a time is best
4. The kit will bend out of shape - fortunately it will bend back, especially when restuck

I managed to damage the top of an arch by bending away too aggressively (I lost my temper) - though nothing that some plastic filler and paint wouldn't fix.

Best of luck...

Thanks for the advice.

Unfortunately, buy the time I returned to the bone yard someone had mangled the front and rear ones pretty well, apparently taking the exhaust system (a performance job) out of the car.
