Seems quite a common occurrence and has been covered on here a few times

i understand you can not get replacements, and new steps are required

unless you can get a set of covers fabricated or something

Land Rover Dealers will repair it by fitting some self tappers to the running board.

Very common and yet nothing done about it as usual lol

i have taken the metal things that were on the side step off by drilling them out and now a hole is left for each one- how are the self tapping screws used- do these just screw from the inside of the black trim through into the metal trim tp hold it in place or is there a different way of doing this- can someone tell me how to attach these with some instructions

You shoudl have drilled the rivert out and knock it through with a punch.
If you have, you're left with a perfet sized hole for no.10 1/2 inch pan head self tapping screws (can find at b&q).
For peace of mind I put lock washers on also.

Job done.

Wish I had taken pictures now for you, but could take one of the new set up?

Cheers,

Andy

thanks for the reply- that is what i did and i have the holes after knocking the rivets through- so i willl get the self tapping screws now and screw in from the inside of the black side step- where does the washer go - i assume that will be against the head of the screw (on the inside of the black plastic step?)
