To remove the arches you need to remove the plastic rivets.
You do this by pushing in the centre pin of the rivet with a small screwdriver or punch. They are a tight fit so they will need a firm push.
Next I put a large screw into the hole, twisted it a couple of times then pull the rivet out with the screw. You can lever them out with a screwdriver but I didn’t want to damage the trims.
After you have removed all the rivets you are ready to remove the arch.
Start by pulling the arch trim from the back of the arch. You will have to give
it a little wiggle as you pull.
The rear arch trims also have 4 plastic panel clips holding them on so you will need release them as you pull it off. They are same type of clips that hold the door cards on, if you do not have a tool for this then just give it a good pull and they will come out.
Remember to transfer the clips from the old arch to the new one before fitting
The fronts come off the same as the backs accept they do not have the extra clips.
Fit the new arches; rivet them and your done.
