Who makes a good door sill protector? I'm tired of the junk I have.

[WestCoastDan]

I purchased a pair of "name brand" door sill protectors and I think they broke the first time while I was installing them.
They have cracked and split a couple more times since without actually being abused, so they have to go.

What say you, forum members?

Who makes GOOD door sill protectors?

***My only requirement is that they must fit with the doors on.

I've used the shittybilt and they held up fine

Been using 3M marine non skid tape going on 5 years now and it still looks good.

The Mopar Jeep branded stainless steel ones i have. They look good, are durable, and don’t affect the door, but they are very proud of them based on how much they cost now. Any version of them would be good. I think extreme terrain sells a generic version for half the cost.

I found the Extreme Terrain version, they look good but I would want them in black.
All of the black ones seem to be made of plastic.
I wonder how much it would cost to powdercoat a set?
Hmmm...

Previous owner put down some clear film on the sills, it is probable need a refresh but it’s done the job well

I had the rugged ridge versions but they seemed too thick.

I have the stainless jeep protectors now. Fit and look great.

So far, these are in the lead:

Find a good vinyl person in your area. If it's still in good shape have them cover it in clear. Otherwise pick a color.

If anyone's interested in a NIB set of these from Rugged Ridge, they can be yours for the cost of shipping from me to you...

I had these and removed them because of how thick they are. They interfered with the door seal.

I have some sort of clear tape or vinyl on mine. I don't know if is factory or from the PO, but it's held up well because I rarely put my feet on it. I have an unconventional way of hopping into my jeep and hopping out.

What are the name brand ones that you referenced in the first post please?

 

[oldjeepman]

I have the set from Jeep, bought 8yrs ago. Have held up great, would like for the rear also but no luck.

Good idea, but I need to replace what I have.
I'd rather go metal than plastic this time.
The only metal ones that I have found so far are stainless in color and I want them to be black.
Chrome is for the Harley.

I don't know if they ever made one for the tailgate area; I don't recall ever seeing one anyway.
I also don't think it would be all that difficult or expensive to bend up a homemade version; assuming access to a brake that's wide enough.
Hmmm...

That clear film is actually factory. Ours was scuffed up pretty good so I cleaned it all off and added the black ones which have now cracked.

I’ll take them in a heartbeat - had great luck with them and like the look.
