M Tech sideskirts - reuse old yellow plugs or new white plugs ?

Ok, I have mounted my M Tech sideskirts but my dealer reused those yellow plugs from standard sideskirts and now it seems that my sideskirs are not aligned completely. He told me that those yellow plugs that are in combination with those green plugs with hole are much better than those white plugs that came with M Tech sideskirts. Also, he has told me that I need to remove those green plugs with holes ( dont know exact phrase ) from under the sideskirts in order to use those new white ones. So, what should I use and if the answer is white ones, how do I remove those green plugs from under doors ? I push them inside or ?

Tnx a lot !

How ? Did you remove those green female plugs from the car ? I think that it is impossible to use those M plugs in those green female plugs. Correct me if Im wrong but that was my opinion when I saw those green plugs and how small original plugs are.

Also, did you reuse that rubber strip that was on standard sideskirts ? Mount it on M sideskirts and then mount it on the car ? Actually, I am not sure if this rubber strip came with M sideskirts or standard ones ?

Tnx

i dont remember what color the tabs were but mine mtech sides came with the tabs installed so all I had to do was pop them into place. Mine didnt have any rubber strips on either my oem sides or mtech ones.

is ure sedan? my car is a coupe so maybe it's different?

Oh, yea, mine is E90 sedan. Mine also came with tabs installed but those tabs are bigger than those on standard sideskirts.
