That is a great job done Dom. Very well explained and detailed. I can see some bubbling on the ends of the 3.2 sills so I am thinking its a job for this summer. I dont want them going too bad! I had not even thought about all that underseal on them. Maybe they can go off to an body shop to be stripped as well as painting! Saves me a job!

Only just notices your workshop is round :) Also, the longest thing with this can be getting the wheel arch liners off as the screws just continually turn in the plastic fixings but won't come out, very frustrating. I purchased a pack of 10 replacement screws/fixings for £4 and poked a bit of waxoyl over the heads when i put everything back together so they don't rust too quickly. Great that you can replace sills on the TT with no welding... I wish they did this on mk5 Golfs!!!

Thanks for this Dom, I've had one side done and the other needs doing! Might well have a bash at this myself when we have some sustained dry weather! My drivers side had a whole rainforest growing in the sill cover, I probably broke enviromental laws cutting down the trees and rare flowers growing in the meadow😂...that moss on yours, I'd recommend sending some spores of that to the doomsday seed vault.🤣

I got hit by a mk2 TT and it’s dented mine. After watching this I think it’s probably better to change it rather than have it fixed at the body shop. What do you think Dom?

It’s probably cheaper to have it replaced and painted than it would be to have it repaired as no doubt it has some light rust that would need prepping too. Plus the time it takes to make repairs will likely cost more than buying a new one

Hi Dom, this is a really helpful video - thank you. I shall be replacing my side sill this weekend but I just wondered what to use to stick it back to the underbody i.e the part you cut along with your knife at the end? Also, my ends are not that bad so would a simple clean and hammerite in black be sufficient? Thank you.
