If I remember correctly there are a couple of screws per side. Once these are out you have to slide the skirt forward or back (can't remember) so that the remaining plastic clips unlodge. The plastic clips are notorious for breaking so best to buy a few before removal if you can.

I broke every single clip when I tried to remove side skirts from my V40. I haven't bought new clips so I've been driving around without the side skirts for 3 months now. Looks a bit weird

Some links forthe clips on ebay?

Too late i think but may help?

Having broken about five clips, I now know to slide them. I didn't know that before I pulled them. Oh well.

I'm tempted just to leave the skirts off.
