Door sill protector...

[steved]

OK, just thought I would mention this since I always scratch the door sill with my boot eyelets getting in and out of my truck... damn steel toes.



VentShade makes a universal step sheild the is about 4 inches wide with a 1/2 inch lip on one edge... it mounts vertically to the 03+ ram doorsills perfectly. I have been using mine since it was new... it has been great, not a scratch to date.



I think they cost me around $14 for the set... got mine at PepBoys. Nothing more than a couple pieces of black plastic...

Actually Ventshade makes ones specifically for our trucks, this is picture of the front door one, there is a picture of the rear door one in my reader rig.

The universal one covers more of the sill further down.



I saw the model specific one hangin on the shelf at the same time I bought mine... I bought mine just for the added length...



Just FYI,

But mine said ventshade on the packaging...



As long as it works, that is the only thing that matters.

anyone just try herculiner or any thing else similar? i may try this in spring time. may help to prevent rust too, at least for the northern folks.

I have running boards on, so that isn't an issue. I have used the spray on bed liner inside a job box (the stuff in the can from autozone)... it doesn't seem to stick as well as I would hope...
