Default "How to" on Rockers

I was parked at my ex's house a few months back over night, someone stole a side skirt off my car. Who does that? Anyway, I just bought two new GT ones off of newtakeoff.com and I want to know how to properly take off the other one without breaking the plastic clips (since the new ones didnt come with any) and if there are any catches or tricks to slapping the new ones on.

To do it properly you'll need a trim panel tool. If you don't have one, you can use a screwdriver and gently pry out the retainers. If you break some, you can get replacements at Lowes or Home Depot.

I was surprised to see a whole drawer full of different automotive clips at lowes. good place to get them, as they are especially prone to breaking!
