Thanks for posting the pics. I am going to receive my arches this week so I can install 239's. Did you need a special tool for the rivets?

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. |

nice guide... after asking 1 person here via PM, I've had to answer about 5-10 others after my job as well.
![]() With the rivet tool though, it doesn't look like that would fit in the wheel well unless you take the tire out correct? We had to do it by hand without the tool - 2 people, lots of elbow grease for a tiny plastic piece... not fun. I still need to finish the job actually... some holes are still unfilled (strategic spots though).

There were only 2 I couldn't get the rivet into. The very bottom/front of the rear wheel.
