[doc] Re: Door Sill & Under Side Cover

["Mike Bosworth" <mike.bosworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul

The black covers (the ones with the DMC sign on) are origionally 
held in place by inbuilt two pronged fir trees on the underside of 
it, these have a habit of snapping off once the plate has been 
removed or even when origionally fitted did not fit snugly down and 
hence like mine then fixed down with self tapping screws. Your 
screws if they wont come out are just spinning so they will need to 
be pulled or drilled out try using a small pair of mole grips and 
pull up at the same time as turning them out, but mind the plastic 
sill plate :).

Regards

Dont want to force it.

this can be pushed up flush by hand, but whatever clips it in place 
is not gripping it tight now. I also noticed that 3 screws are 
missing from underneath this cover but where these are missing, the 
cover fits perfect here. I have tried removing the exisiting screws 
to determine size to replace missing ones, but they wont come out, 
the heads will damage first.
