How to remove CGT Sill Mouldings?

[alan pritchard]

rob, i recently did this job in a scrapyard.  as i remember the moulding is
2 piece, split in  the middle, underneath there is a mounting bracket that
is screwed to the body. also in a few places under the car is a few screws
that hold the plastic on, remove these, and as i remember the moulding will
"unpop" from the mounting bracket, theres around 10 clips holding it in pos.
although i dont know how easy it is to get back on, havent got that far
yet.....
