I've never seen them. But my inside had never gotten as dirty as they show in the picture. And after every wash I am sure to wipe down the isides of the doors and everywhere.

Not that much. I drive my vette daily and was just thinking it would be one less area to keep clean. I'll probably pass on them also.

I've seen them and i'll give them a shot. for a couple of bucks they wouldn't hurt and they do seem to keep out most of the dirt, I would use them more to keep out water though. :rolleyes:

I thought they were stock on '95's? Just like the door insulators. Whatever, I have them on mine, never checked the '93 to see if they are there.

The bottom of the door is supposed to have air flow, allowing for appropriate function of the rear vents - just look coupling vent located in door jam.
