I only used the car wash once but I assume that it was at least warm but never really checked - I usually use a brush. I could have been exacerbated by all the salt on our streets and roads in the winter.
I just finished washing my truck... and took a couple photo's of the WeatherTech liners before and after.
How do they attached to the truck?I got these for door sill protectors. From bushwacker. I wanted something a little more than a sticker, but also from the factory that'll fit my truck. It also has the bonus of some exterior protection.
Not wanting one of the 147 different variants of similar carbon fiber sill protector film I finally found one with a plain black textured finish. Got a couple rolls of the XPEL Universal Sill Protector and am very pleased with it. One roll would probably have been plenty, but I cut the fronts a tad too long and would have left the rears rather short by comparison. It's fairly forgiving stuff to work with and smooths out easily without the need for applicator tools. I was able to pull the film back off cleanly to reposition it after messing up the first time. The roll of material is 2.75" wide and 60" long. It's just wide enough to fold over the edge and still reach the weather stripping. So if you want it this length be sure to buy two rolls so you'll have enough to do the rears as well.
There is 6-7 pieces of 3M tape on each piece.

saw those and may still get them mainly for the exterior protectionI got these for door sill protectors. From bushwacker. I wanted something a little more than a sticker, but also from the factory that'll fit my truck. It also has the bonus of some exterior protection.
I like those and searched extensively for that or something like that but settled for something temporary - saving my money for the ProCal tune kit.
The fit is very tight. As long as you thoroughly clean the truck off before application you should be good. I washed the truck with soap and water dried it and then clean it with alcohol wipes before applying them. It's 3M automotive tape, but there are between 6 and 7 strips per protector, and as long as you're pressing them on, you should be good. The instructions are very detailed as to how to apply them, I believe following them closely allows for the tightest to fit.
i like thoseI decided to try something different. I got some 3M anti slip step tape. 4in x15ft roll. Fits up to the weather stripping & folds over the edge nicely. I just wanted something to help protect from scratches .Time will tell if this was a mistake or not.
Those are the ones I got for my 2020 XLT Super Crew -- fit great, look great. One cravat: instructions say start with the front.. start with the rear, since they curve around the back of the cab, if you get the front too far back or forward, the back won't fit correctly!I got these for door sill protectors.
