Default Sill protectors

Anyone know of any parts places selling a see through vinyl protector for the raised piece on the door sill?
I had them for the c6 and they protected the door sill from shoe marks when getting in or out of the car.
If I have to park in a narrow parking space and cannot open the door all the way open my foot will drag across the sill and leave a mark.

I am referring to the black plastic part on the inside of the interior and alongside of the sill plate.

On the c6 someone made a clear molded piece that went from about six inches up the door sill all the way back to rear door post.

Will the XPEL stick to the rough surface of plastic?

If anyone knows of any vendor that sells these let me know.
I used carbon fiber peel and stick sample (Amazon) it works fine...

I have not found the hard vinyl covers yet. If you use Xpel you will have to piece together strips as the Xpel roll is 2.75" wide and the sill is 5". Unless you are good at Xpel installation, you might have fun with the two 90 degree bends to cover the entire sill.
