    Part numbers needed for Side skirt clips

    I removed my side skirts from a 1999 C230K sport yesterday and in the process broke some clips. I broke 4 of the 6 white plastic clips that hold the skirt from the top. Also, I broke all 3 small plastic clips in the front of the SS, the one that hold the little rubber strip above the SS in front of the door. Lastly, I broke the single plastic clip in the rear of the SS holding the rear rubber strip above the SS. All the bottom metal clips were fine. Any help would be appreciated.


    A word of caution if you want to remove the side skirt. Be very very very very careful. These plastic clips are so brittle and break very easily!!

    Rectagular in shape at the head where it clips to the side skirt. And then there's a protrusion that clips onto the car side. It's really hard to describe.

    I was just testing the fit. The FG Carlsson replica kit doesn't fit too well onto the car and it is only held on by the 2 screws on the bottom of the car, not too sturdy. I might try and make the same exact cutouts as on the OEM SS so that I can use the OEM clips on the bottom side of the SS. I also need to sand down certain area of the SS. Some areas fit too tight as it is too thick. This project is taking waaaay to looooong!

    Apparently, these clips were only designed for one time use. So there is no way to release them without breaking them...

    pins at front wing (3 per side): A 009 988 39 78
    clamps to go with these pins: A 009 988 40 78

    clamps at top side of skirts (9 per side): A 009 988 41 78

    pins at bottom of skirts: A 009 988 42 78
    clamps to go with these pins: A 009 988 43 78
    wateroutlet/clamp at bottom of skirt (1 per side): A 002 997 79 86

    clamp at rear wing (1 per side): A 009 988 44 78

    Jun, OEM only. All of the aftermarket (save for AMG) skirts I have seen, do not have the cutouts where the OEM clips go. Most of them are held onto the car by a couple of screws (yikes!!)
