I have an appointment for a body shop to install the M-Tech plastic skirts on my E36 4 door sedan (they are painted and ready to go) but there is no drilling template or drilling jig and BMW tells me the drillng jig is discontinued. Has anyone run into this? Is there an aftermarket source?

I will ship to Canada if you need, and if it helps you out. Just purchase them, have them shipped to me, then I will put a new label on them, and ship em to you.

I have asked them to reconsider, so I will see what they say. Thanks for the kind offer.

From what I've read you should use Window weld for the skirts, if you drill into the rocker it will rust eventually

Definitely don't drill the rockers if you dont have to, it will rust VERY easily. Use window urethane, RTV, or any other strong adhesive and stick them on.
