Anyone remove their door sills?

[lucien]

I go the illuminated sill sold by Tesla. --> 2012-2020 | Model S Illuminated Door Sills

The installation is somewhat vague. It comes with a plastic 'tool' to help remove the old ones, but I can't get the tool under the edge, and I'm worried about trashing the outer plastic of the sills.

Has any one done this before? I could use some advice. I can't find any videos that show the removal.

Thanks!

Nevermind, I didn't realize the original sills had so much adhesive on the tips. Also, the tool that came from Tesla was way too dull to lift the edge.

The key was to use a metal tool with a sharper edge (plaster knife, etc) and lift the middle, then work your way to the edges.

I had the Service Center install mine while my S was in for other items.

As brico suggested, getting Tesla Service Center to install it might be the easiest way to go. Otherwise, the following video can help:

I also remember using a hair dryer to soften the glue when I swapped mine... (It was the Tesland version but the procedure is pretty much the same)
