how to replace a sill
« on: 31 July 2011, 18:22 »
Ok both my sills seem to be shot as front jacking points mangled totaly.
How do you remove and put on new sill?
I take it they are welded on?

Very expensive.

To get mine done it came to £400 iirc.

Mine was a bit more than a sill though, it was seatbelt anchor points and stuff...

The problem comes after you cut the old sill off, you may get lucky and find nothing else but you may find the rust has spread.
