Guest Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Thinking about getting some plates for the door sills on my car. Was just wondering if anyone has had any problems with aftermarket ones, like any moisture sitting under them and rusting etc. I might just be being a little ott.

E5GDM Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I had no problems with mine on my ZS. But I only had it for about a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukcal Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Not looked under mine, but they are excellent. No issues with them whatsoever. I forget that my car didn't actually come with them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I've seen a few forums on the Internet where people have been getting a bit of rust but only a few so in two minds really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitaniumWhite Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Are these the type attached with adhesive or screwed onto the sill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Would be adhesive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitaniumWhite Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I was thinking about getting some for mine but the thought crossed my mind that water would seep under them it they were only held on with adhesive and may end up coming loose and looking scruffy.

Guest Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Yeah the only worry I've had is water sitting under aswell. It's probably something that doesn't happen all to often but I think I'll just leave them off and be extra careful getting in and out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitaniumWhite Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 As the main driver, I'm always careful not to catch the sills, it's other people I have to worry about, as they just seem to enjoy scraping their shoes and boots over the sills and then the trim. My wife's high heels should carry a scuff warning. The other thing that winds me up is when a passenger undoes their seatbelt and lets it fly back, clattering into the window or the side trim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I warn everyone that gets in my car, although I did take a girl out once that swung my door open, luckily it didn't hit anything but needless to say I didn't take her out again haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
