Let's remove/install doorsills
The Doorsills are held in place with 6 clips. To remove the doorsills, you will need to start at one end and release each clip. I started at the front end of the door sills and worked my way back.
Use an Interior Trim Removal Tool to un-dock each clip. If you have one with a V shape on the end, you will be better off as you can get on each side of the clip. Slowly work your way to the other end and the door sill will be removed. The back of the doorsill looks like: With the doorsill removed, you can install the new doorsill. Installation is simple, simply line up the clips with their respective holes and push down until the clips dock. |

Looks fairly simple. Are you selling the M door sills on your site? I don't see them. Thanks.

Hey Andy,
Did you notice any pigtails or other wiring to use for the illuminated doorsills when you had them off?

yeah I would really like to put in the illuminated doorsills to match the illuminated door-handles. If anyone has done this, how difficult was it to do? where did you get the replacement doorsills?
Thanks in advance! |

As this thread is in Google results and to keep the forum active, I can answer this. Just bought a new set of M sills and they came with the clips. Going to install mine tomorrow before the E30 takes the garage back.
