Wondering if anyone knows of a removable plastic film you could apply to the lower plastic door sill trim to protect it from the elements during the winter - something that could be pealed off in the spring and not leave any residue (or minimal residue)?? Just spent 3 hours giving it a really good winter bath, but a majority of the time was cleaning the crap from the interior trim pieces. (I do have weathertech mats that are great for the floors!!!)

Any ideas ????

Cheers!!!

I am thinking of finding a rubber strip to glue (something that doesn't leave a residue) on the plastic door sill on my 2017 or just get the Honda metal trim piece for the drivers side - https://parts.route22honda.com/v-20...onda-accord-sedan--sport-sensing--variable/accessory-components--door-sill-trim

If you are talking about covering the plastic piece next to the fuel/trunk lid openers, the fact that the plastic is textured would probably keep it from laying completely flat. So it wouldn't be transparent and it would look bad. You need a completely smooth surface to apply the clear film to IMO.

That's where I'm trying to protect. Not really concerned about the look, just trying to protect it for the winter. The bigger concern that it's removable and doesn't leave a bigger mess when removed.

I too would love some type of protection for these pieces. Especially the back because the kids use them as steps into the rear. Sandy shoes = scratched up trim bits.

What I'l like to see is something permanent. Maybe molded in matte black plastic or brushed aluminum with a thin foam 3M adhesive backing. I haven't found anything like this yet.

What about some of that film that contractors use on floors in a clients house? I used to use it in my prior career as an AV tech. Sticks really really well to carpet, and I'm thinking plastic, but comes up without a residue. It's almost like super heavy duty Saran Wrap, but a little sticky on the back.

Just bought my 2016 Coupe and prior owner dragged his shoes across the plastic apparently with every entry and exit. First thing I bought was replacement part: Genuine Honda 84251-T3L-A01ZA Left Front Side (Inner) Garnish Assembly, easy to replace and cost $26 on Amazon.

Amazon sells it. XPEL Clear Universal Door Sill Guard (60" x 2.75") Paint Protection Film Kit.

These are easy to install and are removable. Applied right, you'll forget they are on there. It's an easy DIY.

Look under Door Sill protector Film. XPEL and 3M make it. I use a thinner 3M version on my door edges and I have an XPEL bumper applique film on my rear bumper. I bought the Ebay version of the Stainless door sills, another easy install.

Hi everyone,
decided to step in for a moment. That Xpel protective film is a cost-effective and convenient solution for those, who are willing to protect door sills from debris and particles. This protective film is transparent and is a universal product. Here is the link to view the full description and specs of this Xpel product:
XPEL R3022 - Clear universal door sill kit at CARiD
The only recommendation we've got for this product is to clean the surface before sticking the protective film on it. If you leave minor sand particles and stick the kit over them, they may result in scratches with time.
Hope this helps!

The above Xpel product looks like paint protection only, not for protecting the plastic sills?

When visiting the NYIAS, I noticed that Honda and Acura have applied a plastic protection to the plastic sills and lower door panels. I wonder if this product is available without the lettering?

Edit. I just came across something that may be a viable solution. Clawguard door and sill protection film. It’s marketed for dog owners around the home to protect against pet claws. I can see this working for plastic sills.

Would laying some clear vinyl over it and hitting it with some heat for form it work? It may be permanent but might be easier to clean.

The problem is worse if you have the lighted door sills like I do.

I want to be able to protect the plastic parts, as well as the paint on the sills
