vert ground effects

What must one do to get the side pieces of the ground effects off? There is a bolt on the very rear of them that can be seen by removing a jamb vent and it is way down there, quite inaccessible by the looks of it. Must the stud be drilled out, or is there an easier way? I cant peel them aside far enough to look behind and see if there is a better way of doing it. Vert guys who have removed these, please share your thoughts. I don't want to damge mine unecessarily. Thanks.:lala:

I stripped one last week, and there is NO WAy to get it out.. I just kept hitting it with a hammer and chisel to get it out.... HOWEVER, if you Call MILANI AUTO BODY in Burnaby (Vancouver) BC they painted me car and figured out how to take it off... I think there is a hole behind the seatbelt that you have to pull out! Take a Look, and get a STRONG flashlight
