Side Skirt Installation Question
So the side skirts on my 997.2 C4S have been needing some love for a while now and I finally decided to remove them to replace one or two broken clips and give them a good clean. Once I got them off, I noticed that a couple of the clips had actually broken off inside the body (the stem part separated from the bottom clip). I have two questions:
1) Is there any easy way to get at that chamber to be able to remove the broken clips? The "chamber" I'm talking about is essentially whatever is above the region that the side skirts cover. Will they just come out naturally or are they stuck in there until I remove them?
2) Does anyone know the part number for those clips? I obviously need to order a few more and would rather go in with the number in hand than have to try and explain what I need.
Thanks!

tell them what you want and let them look it up. If somebody gives you the wrong # it will be your fault if they dont work. Always let the dealer look up parts.
theres a black rubber reciever and the white clip, if its broke off you can push the old part thru or pull it out, theres no way to get in the body.

The clips on mine are completely black and hard plastic - there's no white or rubber on them. Just to verify, I'm talking about the part that's underneath the door jam.
