Yes, something I do know about but tailgate doesn't do it either. Mike - MPx

If the age of the steps is the same as your car, then I would go for a new set and keep the old ones for spares? saves buying parts which will cost more in the long run. |

Bin um! Replace them with a new set as once they get to that state, they are a massive frustrating PITA!!! Lifes too short sir |

Yes steps were a factory fit on mine so 2012 vintage. I agree - new steps and module on order... I just hope I'm up to fitting them (well getting the old ones off is the worry really), but I've got a few hundred to spend on an Indie if necessary before reaching MD levels of pain! Mike - MPx

Buy your self a cheap set of pry off tools to help you get to any of the internal panels and some good penetrating oil for the bolts into the chassis, it's only 6 bolts each side to get them off. |

I'm hoping not to need the pry offs - I know I can get at the control Module and that's the only internal bit I'm renewing. Good point on the bolts - I'll start the daily Plus Gas soaking ritual in prep! Mike - MPx

You have 6 bolts per step, 4 in the sidesill area and 2 up into the floor... The 13mm headed bolts up into the floor are devils for snapping so yes, spray spray spray! Then when you get them moving, wind them in & out several times sir |

The 13mm bolts are the only ones that need to come all the way out the other 4, 11mm does not. |
