Fairly simple install, just a bit of patience. They are a semi sticky vinyl that you apply with a soap solution and push the bubbles out but hand.
I used an old spray bottle w/dish soap and paper towels. Sprayed them while peeling off the backing, speakers the sill, applied/positioned, then pushed the bubbles or with a towel.
Mine are still holding up great 6 mos later. eBay link in the quote

I went with these bc they protect more of the sill and are a textured grip vinyl. I recieved them yesterday and they look top knotch. The surface reminds me of a linex coating and grippy. I wont be able to install for a while as they say a min temp of 65*F and it wont be that warm till spring.

since the are 2 piece per sill they shouldn't be too bad to install. I have the ones in the post right before yours and the fronts ones are tough to get to lay flat and then stay down toward the front with all the bends and then the sill itself starting to arc up

We got a break in the weather, high was suppose to be 48 today lol. It was 38*F our tonight but decided to install my sill protectors. $28 off eBay and they are very nice, thick and very grippy. I prepped real good and used a heat gun to heat the sills up and then worked my way around, I do not use adhesion promoter.

Took about 30-40min but think they turned out good, when I was going to do my driver door, sure enough there was already some scratching happening on the edges... ugh truck is only 1 month old. And that is why you use door sill protectors!

Careful to those who like to go Clicky Clicky. I hit the buy button then realized that I got redirected to another product. The ebay listing does not show the RAM logo but the description talks about lettering.

I immediately contacted the seller...hopefully I can get the logo or a refund.
