Hi, does anyone know how to remove a rocker panel from a C5 without damaging it. I beleive it is glued on and will require some heat to remove somehow. Thanks

Also, there is a lot of information in the service manual.

Hey thanks for the help again. I took the car to a friend of mines body shop and he is letting one of his body and frame men do the job on the side and i am helping. The body guy has never worked on a C5 and i am trying to help him do this the correct way instead of experimenting and costing me a lot more. Before i seen this last reply from you he had already cut the tub in some different places, but hopefully we can put it back in a professional way with out buying a tub new. Thanks again for your help. I do wheel repair so let me know if you ever need any help there.
