Door Sill Protection

[Nocrays]

Has anyone seen anyone providing door sill protection.

Scuffing of the sills seem to be being brought up quite a bit on Facebook.

I am having my detailer put some clear wrap inside there when he does the ceramic coating

Do you know the thickness of the clear wrap?

Most clear paint and stone protection films are around 0.2mm or 0.3mm.
Maybe he should put down a double layer as the weight of your boot scraping on the sill may tear through 0.2mm

Good idea. Has yours come in yet??

Is the ceramic coating worth while?

Hi, (just posted this also in the German chapter)

I have used this product available at Amazon (at least in Germany):

Amazon.de

Worked well for me, is transparent and barely visible but hopefully protecting well.

I cut out the plastic stripes, here are 2 photos, first one is driver side (left hand drive) front, second one is driver side rear:

My Ranger had this issue. Vinyl Car wrap did the trick.

I’ve used 3M helicopter tape

That was my temporary solution too.

Thanks for the reply’s.

Looks like the film is the answer at the moment.

Be nice to get some stainless protection!

No currently floating off the west coast of Africa. Ceramic coating is worth it for general paint protection from bird crap etc and makes it easy to wash. It won’t provide strong protection against bush stripes etc.

Might invest in ceramic keep it looking smick. But the way I drive

I used 3M skateboard grip tape. You just have to pay attention to the lower door rubber.

Yup, the amazon clear tape. Plenty to choose from.

That would be the perfect solution.

I have the 3M helicopter clear tape ready to go. Thinking now having seen your grip tape to use that for the sills and save the clear tape for the door edges.

Also keep in mind if someone hits /rubs their exposed leg on the sill getting out, they’re likely to lose some bark on the way down. Ouch.

No but my detailer is very experienced so pretty sure he will steer me right
