Bought the sill protectors on EBay. They were ill fitting and appeared likely to scratch the sill more so than having no protection. Quite frankly, I threw them away - they were junk!

Second Vote for Xpel. Easy to install and great protection, and invisible.

I have 2 sill protectors that I am not using from my 2014 C7. PM me if you would like them for free and I will ship them to you. Thanks from Niagara Falls NY.

I have over 10,000 miles on C7s, no protection and no blemishes?

And a third, easy to install yourself, pretty much invisible. They offer a kit for $60. Can be ordered directly from their web site.

Wasn't really concerned about the drivers side, more about unaware passengers getting in and out.

You can get this on Amazon for $22.00. Bought 2 rolls, enough to do both sills. Easy install, no bubbles.

Some of the major forum aftermarket parts vendors will carry them. I doubt there are too many different manufacturers for the protectors.

I agree on the Xpel film shield. Low price, easy to buy, easy to install, great protection.
