Post should be constructed as theoretical advise only.Difficulty: Moderate These are the original sill plates Step 1: Stripping the original sills...
|
| Peeling off the original sills are simple, just use a pry tool to pry them off.
(They are stuck down VERY tightly, dont be afraid to use brute strength here) | The hard part is to remove the residual 3M tapes. Using 3M adhesive remover like this will make life easier. Clean them off fully and clean the surface with rubbing alcohol will ensure the new sills bond nicely with the surface. |
Step 2: Tapping the power source
|
| An easy method is to tap the Power source frm the footwell lights as it auto switch off when door is closed.
Too much work needed to make it follow the courtesy door lights as it requires purchase of new wiring harness. | Just run the cable along the sides and under the door rubber seals.
