How do you remove the GFX, particularly the sides.

Im going to have to remove the side skirts of my iroc to replace the fenders and clean up some other damage. How to I remove them. I had though they pryed/lifted off. But when I did that on the parts car (great for experimenting) I broke the backs.

How do I go about correctly removing them from the car.

There are bolts running under the length of car, a few under door sills, and some under 4 inch rubber patch looking things (Cannot remember correct name) which are behind kick panels and behind panel next to backseats

One or two screws are behind the emblem on the outside.
One you get from the interior... take of the door jamb vent and you can see it. Remove the rear seat lower, the lower trim panel (around the seat belt), and there may still be a rubber sheet covering the square access hole to actually reach the screw.
Then the obvious row of screws in the door jamb, and under the car.
