Sill Panel Removal

[JESFromASC]

What is the proper way to remove this plastic sill panel?
Got to get the carpet up/out a bit more to dry out a leak.
Thanks

Just get your fingers under the inside edge and give it a sharp, firm pull upwards. There are three large plastic clips.

Thank you.
That is what it felt like - but better safe than sorry.

I tend to pull it from the rear end and usually the rear and middle clips come out and I slide it off the front clip (will make more sense when you see it), but I find that helps with re-fitting and makes sure I don't mix the L and R ones up (if they're even different)

Just did that and YEP! that is exactly what happened.
Nice to know my leak is isolated to only the rear well under the passenger seat.
This lets me get things up to dry things out until winter when I can gut out the interior.

Those small white T clips are quite fragile. When you go to put the sills back I'd have sone spares to hand . Cheap enough for a pack if 10 off Ebay

Excellent advice - done, thanks.
