Door Sill Protection

[CG - All the way]

I realize I will take a lot of flak for this question, but here goes. As someone else mentioned I am more concerned about the plastic trim above the door sills. Although I am careful, it just seems that there is something about the design that makes it extremely easy to drag your foot across it, especially on entry. Now the question: Will the Platinum Maverick sill plate adhere to the plastic trim. It almost looks like a pretty good fit (See Picture in entry above). If it did "stick", would it stand up to the potential abuse?

Agree ..... Wish they were 2" wide and much longer.

Doesn't make sense to make them so small... Charge 30% more and cover the still.

If I bought 2 sets, would the front maverick plate fit in the rear as well?

The front plates are 12 inches long while the rears are 8 inches. There's not enough flat area in the rear door jam for the fronts to be put on the rears.

I have these door sill plate covers that I purchased from Etsy. In the process of waiting well over two months for them to be delivered, which was ridiculously long, I found a different set of sill plate covers, bought them, and installed them.

These are for sale for $25 with free shipping. They are thick vinyl and are wide and long enough to cover the entire sill plates on the front and back.

I have two sets of these. Let me know if you’d like to buy them.

I purchased a roll of clear sill protection for $8.00 (2 3/4"x 16'). It is easy on and easy off and doesn't harm the paint. Got it on EBAY

It looks like a very gritty surface and keeping it clean might be more annoying than just wiping down the paint with a wet rag. If it's intended to stand on, that is entirely different and it looks perfect for that.

Still deciding. I applied Rustoleum Clear Truck Bed Coating to the bed and put some of that on the sills to protect them until I make a choice.

These can be purchased on Etsy for $15

I just installed the OEM ones. I like the way they look but they are too small.

Tufskinz also sells an option that is kind of bed liner type material.

Have a link for that? Looks like a good option.

I looked at a bunch of them and decided on some from Amazon by Lexley. A carbon fiber leather type material. Longer than most and really like them.

I spotted these on Amazon but wasn't too sure about the fit. Looks like good coverage. How is it holding up after almost 2 months in?

Fantastic. They look like they did the day I installed them. They are thicker than I thought. I like the fact that they go from end to end, not just a foot or so in the middle. I was a bit reluctant when i saw them, but their advertisement and description is right on the money. I have a Maverick ordered for my wife and when I ever get a build date, this is the first item I am ordering for hers.

What's going to bother me more is the abuse the plastic trim above the sills are going to take. Other than laying down some 3M clear protection, I can't think of anything else so far.

Im curious about the same thing, Im a fan of the skateboard tape look because im more about function. Some additional tape on the plastic might be right for me
