My new to me '04 has the paint rubbed off on an edge in the driver's door sill so was thinking of getting some type of cover. Have seen a couple available but none with any installed pictures.
Sooooo....requesting pictures of door sill protectors.
Would like to know how long these are?
Is the OEM rubber stick-on removed prior to installing?
What have you guys done?
Thanks in advance.

I have the slip over sill protecters, black with "CORVETTE" in white letters on them. No adhesive, easy to remove, but stay in place. Effective and inexpensive. I just saw these advertised on this forum in the last few days or so, you should be able to find it easily and give them a looksee. Best wishes!
I agree they aren't the best look...but that doesn't matter when it come to protection. I have them in both cars. Every day is not a car show for me so I remove them and the clear floor mats when I do go to a show. My Sills and Floor mats still look brand new when I uncover them for a show.

I had the ones like jdvann pictured except mine were clear with black Corvette lettering.
I noticed that the protector was leaving marks on the paint from rubbing. There must be some slight vibration or shifting of the protector. I took mine off since the protector was causing damage.

That's the type I have, only mine are the clear ones with black lettering. They fit very well, no need to remove anything and they really protect the sill area.

I think most people have better luck than me.
I also discovered you need to remove them when you are washing your car as water bleeds under and probably carries sand and dirt with them...
Door Sill Protection?
