Cladding removal......naked "orw"... !!!!

.Biggest tips I can give..START at the doors..work front and back from there..
.
HAVE a long bladed sharp knife handy to poke down between cladding and body to cut the stubborn double sided tape...
.
AND lots of baggies to put each cladding panels fastners in!..
.
As for the rivets, I cut the heads off with a chisel, and will replace with #12 machine screws.
.
ALL the nuts and bolts are 10mm....start carefully and you'll soon get a feel for how much "force" is required to pop the fastners, a long flat head screw driver is handy to 'pop" them.... I broke a few...you will too!...

GLTY!...Feel free to PM me if you need more detail

All this does is convince me that I never want to remove it unless I'm permanently replacing it with a rock bumper.:grinb:
