Does it come shipped rolled up or straight?
It comes in a 57" long, sturdy round mailing tube. The moulding is protected by being enclosed in a soft cloth "sock".

Feedback- yes, looks good. Looks like factory. Very professional install appearance.

Price is a touch high IMO, but not outrageous.

Shipped straight, in a tube. Shipping was top notch. Price was high, but well worth it. Color matched perfect as nice as any molding I have seen in the past for other vehicles I have owned.

Finally got around to installing mine. Color match is on point as you can tell. OEM look for sure.

Are these really protecting the doors??? I went out and looked at my Mav and it appears that if these are placed as shown, the door is still exposed at the molded door line you see below this added molding. The natural molded door line protrudes more and appears to be the line on the door which would be hit first. I may just be looking at this wrong. Can you show a photo with the door open and with an "end view". I really like the appearance, just wondering if they are really very effective. Thanks for your input!!

Here you go, mate. I thought the same as you about the natural body line of the door, but when I tested it out with my S/O's tesla before installing the moldings, her door would hit right where the molding is installed now. The curvature of the door hides the fact that that body line really doesn't protrude out more than the middle of the door. One of those visual illusions sort of deal.

It would seem Dawn Enterprises did their homework because instructions said to measure 15" from the plastic trimming in the front and 15.75" for the rear.

I did a fit test with my grand Cherokee and the door hit the molding first. The placement that Dawn enterprises suggested is just right.
