Well my Lockwood door sills protectors turned up this morning unfortunately after I'd scratched the sills:( never mind anyway read the instructions before fitting and it mentions using some fairy liquid and water to stop them sticking straight away and I thought I could skip doing that part.did one side perfect the other side I wasn't happy with so though how strong can the glue be :) needles to say I nearly pulled the doorsill out before it gave up and I could stick it properly they look good though

    I know what you mean.

    The finish is so fine it shows all marks.

    Still, better than scuffed sills.
