Door sill protectors

[007 Mondeo]

Good morning, I have a Mondeo MK4 Edge petrol and I realised that the car was missing the door sill proctors. I had a look into the problem and was told its and extra, they are not fitted to the Edge, but I could buy some direct from Fords for a three figure sum. I declined their offer and went on line, a firm in the midland offered me the top of the range genuine Ford door sill protectors for £9 and the box was damaged and the item dirty. The protectors arrived and I read the instruction which where more pictures than writing, I followed the instructions cleaned the sills accordingly and stuck them on. They look nice and finish the car off, but I am a bit worried about the fact Fords use double side sticky tap, not screws, will they fall off with time has anybody else fitted protectors to their Mondeo

I have a Titanium X which comes with them as standard and yes they are held on by tape, I tried to remove some from a Fiesta when the wife had a mk5 and they were nearly impossible to get off so if you have put them on properly the will not fall off. Ian.
