This is what I have. I got the black sill covers off from eBay. Under those (cannot see it in this pic), on the black paint (truck is two toned), I put clear 3M Pro tape. The stainless steel "RAM" ones came on the truck.

Put the ebay ones on today. Look decent, and should protect better than having nothing there. Im not the best at applying vinyl so I had some crease/bubble issues. Hard to see the stripes, and the "RAM", on my dark max steel paint. Overall about 30 min install. Still worth the 20 odd bucks.

Do you guys know where I can get some 3m clear ones? It would be cool to find them made for the trucks that are pre-cut

Mine just arrived, after you place them on the sill do you have to leave the door open for a certain amount of time to dry?

No I used a little glass cleaner, squeegee and closed door.

I used grip tape for a skateboard on my Durango. Worked great.

Has anyone tried using roll-on or spray-on bed liner for sill protection? Was contemplating doing that this spring. Seems to me that it would be very durable.

Maybe I’m wrong, but it Seems like a “sticker” vs acting as a door sill “protector”.

not just a sticker, made of very thick material, almost like a plastic shield.

Bought them a while back, I dont remember, but I'm sure you can find them on Ebay.About $24.00, well worth it.I did mine in the Florida sun and took time to work out the bubbles, came out real nice and keeps my silver sills scratch and scuff free.

I just ordered a set. We'll see if I can put them on straight and get all the bubbles out. If not at least they're vinyl so they won't damage the paint peeling them off. Joeygster should be getting a cut for all these sales he just made.
