Leeds/West Yorkshire Member Needed for Door Sill Development

[sfmk2.]

They look quite decent - although I personally would prefer them to be a tiny bit longer. Or am I being too fussy?!

They do look good anyways may have to look into them.

I thought that about the back ones when they arrived, but they would look silly in my opinion if they were any longer, now I've seen them fitted.

If you've noticed the two raised lines on the plastic sills, they're the exact length of those!

Hope this helps!

Thanks will definitely look into it.

I had some carbon fibre vinyl ones on the car but they didn't last long and didn't look that smart so took them off!

Will contact this company in the near future for some

No problem at all.

I was literally on eBay buying some of the CF ones when I spotted the post from Masterkm!

 

[Masterkm]

Just had mine delivered this morning after ordering them on Monday. Great service from Lockwood and got them for £55.45 i think.

Cannot wait to fit them but weather is a pain

 

[Masterkm]

Got mine fitted today and they look great and hide the scratches on my door sills now

Looking very good, Masterkm! I hadn't seen that you'd posted here!

Your front ones are a little further back than mine were I reckon.

that makes two of us who are happy with them

 

[Masterkm]

Were they meant to follow those lines on the plastic part? Oops!!

I don't think they were 'meant to', I think it's down to preference . I did follow the lines but only so that I didn't have to employ my OCD tactics with measurements and markings!

You'll notice they get covered in sh1t quite quickly, but that's just because of where the seals are on the doors, so all the muck and water gets into the sills.

Not to worry, they look awesome!!

How sticky are these? They look pretty sweet but with all the crap that gets around that area; mud + water, I am a bit unsure about how long they'd stay sticky for and not fall off.

They cure over a few hours it says on the instructions. I've had them on for a week that's all, but with them making these sill protectors for a fair few different models I'd think they've got them down by now.

Worst comes to the worst, 3m foamy tape will stick them back on!

 

[Masterkm]

A bit off topic about the 3M foamy tape, how are your wind deflectors holding out as mine are not sticking at all on both of the drivers side and the crap double sided tape can be seen now which looks annoying.

Is there a way I can fix this problem?

 

[Jarre]

Hmm thats weird. I didn't add any tape to them, other than what was on them, and used 3 clips on each front window. They hold up really well and can easily withstand 70 with the window down!

 

[Masterkm]

I only used 2 clips on each of the 4 windows, is that where I have gone wrong and need more clips then?

 

[Jarre]

I put 3 on each front one and one on each rear because the rear windows never go round. So for all 4 windows i had a total of 8 clips.

 

[sfmk2.]

I used 2 clips on each window. made sure I logded them in well with my fingers and a gift card type thing.
I have to admit, I noticed that my 3m tape on the rear drivers side one had come loose in this heat at the weekend, but I frequently do motorway miles with all windows cracked a little and they do withstand speed with the clips quite well

 

[Masterkm]

Mine are lodged in well and holding out on the motorway and everyday driving but it can be seen that they are not sitting flush in the window if you know what I mean. Thats my only fuss really

Yeah, I know what you mean, like the little lip is hanging down a little? Same on mine on 1 window!

Just a heads up to everyone that Genuine SEAT sport door sills are now £60 from Dave but is limited stock. Pretty much half price which is a real bargain. I wish I waited so everything would have been genuine, but im still happy i guess
