Took delivery of new XLT yesterday. Lovin' it!

My dog loves to go for truck rides, esp. in warm weather when he gets to stick his head out the window (never on highway). On my last truck, this resulted in some wear from his nails on top ledge of door panel. I am thinking of putting some protective film at that area on new Maverick. I am thinking the paint film might work, but not sure if it would leave residue.

Any advice on this?

Exterior PPF will not work on the interior. Check out Weathertech door panel protectors. There’s a picture of your dog. LOL

Check out their video

I also use the Weathertech door panel protectors....work great, just don't roll the windows down all the way because they will pop off.

That's PPF cut in strips for the (painted) door sills, not the textured interior panels...

Understand, but it's still an option to prevent dogs from scratching up next to the windows. I have only used it on the lower part of doors and plastic near the sill. It goes on fine over textured stuff. What I'm not certain of is how it would react to the Maverick's interior bits. I've only used on plain, black, plastic.

PPF will stick to the interior plastic for about an hour maybe. Its like putting tape on a cement block. You might want to try mole hair. It's a material window tinters' use to put between the glass and window frame to keep the tint from getting scratched from the window going up and down but I'm not sure that will stick any better than PPF.

Looks like the weather tech protectors are just what I need. Thanks for helping avoid something that was not going to work.

Normally wouldn't cobble on a new truck, but this is not a permanent mod.

I trimmed some couch leather (wife will never miss it) & retained with vacuum hose split longways. Staying put so far & window goes up/down without complaint.
