911 (997) 997 Door sills plates

[dino]

Does anybody know how old plastic plates protecting the door sills (branded "Carrera / S") can be removed, as they appear to be glued very strongly?
I bought metal ones from Tequipment a few days ago and I would like to replace them myself. Many thanks in advance!

The point of using strong glue is to make sure the glued parts can be dettached. Therefor I really can't think of any solution that I know of which I can share with you. Ask the store where you bought the plates from or ask the dudes over at 6speed.

Welcome BTW

Thanks L for the nice words! I will post my request also on 6speed forum.
Apparently the guys at the Porsche dealer suggested pure force to beat the glue, but I doubt that german Porsche engineers have not considered this aspect once they offer steel or carbon plates as replacement. Must be a more elegant way to take the old ones off.
Thanks again.

Violence solves most things in life so some good beating should to the work. maybe hot water, a knife, and a hammer should do the trick.
