Hi,

First post here; just got my Maverick last week! I know it's pretty humble truck, but I haven't been this excited about a vehicle in a while.

I want to add some door edge protection, and I think I'm going to go with PPF (specifically the XPEL 1/2" film roll). It's a 100' roll so that's more than enough to do all the door edges.
My question is: does anybody add PPF to the bottom edge of the door? Hasn't happened with this vehicle, but I think sometimes I've seen a door bottom scrape a low wall/rock/high curb or who knows what? Would PPF just be silly in that location, or worthwhile if I've got it?

Thanks!

These aren't sedans . doors high enough that shouldn't be a problem .

Do you have any pictures of examples you could post. Otherwise, I have to agree with "Jah." above.
The door bottoms seem to clear curbs and such.

Here’s a low retaining wall beside a driveway that could be a problem if you are parked just right (wrong?) and somebody carelessly swung open a door. I probably only see stuff like that at parks or trailhead parking areas.

Pretty low risk, and sounds like folks here think it’s not necessary so I might skip it. Not sure PPF would do much for that kind of scrape anyway.
