No, but I wish I had seen those before I bought these on Amazon.

They look OK and are well made but no where as large as shown on Amazon.

No but mine seem to be doing well. If I ever have to redo mine I might cut them to fit like those.

I used herculiner when I did my bed

I had plenty left over from the gallon after 2 coats on the bed, sills and treads on the step ladders. maybe 1 spray can would be enough. just throwing out ideas. Also it has stood up well to big dog claws... can't say the same about the weatherstripping

I used tape but one kit wasn't enough for all four doors.

Otherwise I shoulda saved up for the bushwhacker ones

I am thinking about this:

Genuine Ford Door Sill & Rocker Panel Armor by Bushwacker - SuperCab - VKB3Z-1613208-A | Levittown Ford (levittownfordparts.com)

(or Super Crew - Genuine Ford Door Sill & Rocker Panel Armor by Bushwacker - SuperCrew - VKB3Z-1613208-B | Levittown Ford (levittownfordparts.com))

But I am unsure on how it looks when door is closed.. will we be able to see it hang out? Anyone got pictures of it with doors closed and opened?

I have those. You can see them with the doors closed covering the rocker panels.

i admit they look nice but yeah seem to not cover the edge at all..bummer

Thanks, i wish it wouldn't. Do you have any issues with doors closing like hitting it on bottom of door? Any chance you could snap picture(s)?

Ok, the bushwacker ones make sense to me.

But these others? What's the point?

Do you people actually step on the door sill? Or is this just a "cosmetic addition?"

 

[D Fresh]

its not that you step on it...or at least i dont.
but you always hit or drag your shoes or boots across them and scratch the paint

Ok that would make sense.

I had to teach the children years ago to "step into the vehicle" not "step on the vehicle."

No I don't step on sills. Doesn't make any sense to step on painted surface.

They do the same with their battery maintainer. CTEK sells for $80.00 on Amazon and the Ford one (which is a rebranded CTEK) sells for $110.00. The only reason I went with the Ford one was I needed to use up my Ford Pass points.

My wife and daughters notoriously tromp all over the door sills and I didn't want the paint to get all scratched up. So I got a couple rolls of XPEL universal door sill tape and applied it to the door sills back in May of 2020. So far still holding up strong and looks like I just applied it yesterday.
