Removing side panels from z3

[Witchsilver]

OK, so my front side panels all have surface rust on the leading edge - Passenger side is pretty crunchy to be honest!!

I bought a new panel which is just having its first coats of base colour.

Does anyone have an idiots guide for JUST removing the side panel? - I have been through all I can find and amazingly they seem to skip it.

I shall be doing a proper strip down later in the year but for now just want to swap this panel.

Thanks

Unfortunately you have to remove arch liner to access one bolt which clamps through to sill. You may be able to flex liner back to access but there's a risk if it's brittle with age. HTH
