Default Lowering the '87-'89 Carrera

I'm planning on lowering my car to Euro height soon and was planning on ordering new torsion bar cover seals for the body, but I am wondering what the proper procedure is for dealing with the black rubber rocker strip that covers those torsion bar caps. I think this is the part number: OEM-91155904701GRV. Do I uncrew the end cap and pull the strip back and then re-glue it afterwards? Any specific instructions would be appreciated.

der mond, great choice in color. i'm sure in the morning a 1,000 guys will fill you in on what to do ,I've never done it but a quick read in the book makes it look doable. it's project #55 in the "101projects for your porsche" it has a similar list of "do together" projects. good luck

Der Mond,

You can remove the rocker panel under the black strip my removing the screws that hold it in place along with the end caps. Then you can slide the rubber strip out.

Thanks, guys, at this rate I'm just going to have to enjoy the process of re-indexing those rear torsion bars...
