I was wondering how the existing door sills are attached. I was thinking about switching out to the Stingray type.

Is it 3m tape or snaps? is it an easy removal?

They attach with clips. You have to be careful and try to work them all out at the same time to prevent breakage.

Continues to be a good suggestion Glen. Can you also provide advice to CyberVette (and others) as to the best way to use the trim tools in removing the sill plate.

look at the pic..see the attachment points...use the smallest tool to get under andcrowbar one loose, then they will pop.....very easy job...

I don't know if I would use a small screwdriver might risk small bends in the metal. I might try something very wide like that used for taping sheet-rock, mud knife.

I have used narrow plastic paint scrapers to accomplish to same type of job, but they are a bit on the flimsy side.

If you use metal ones just make sure to wrap a piece of tape around the end so you don't scratch the car.

I agree with Glen!

I also believe even if you don’t mod your cars you should own a set of these. Best $15 bucks I ever spent on tools!
