Has anyone got any recommends for transparent plastic door sill protectors cut to fit, for an R1S?
We have a small/mid sized dog (cocker spaniel) who can make the leap (in stages) but it’d be better to have something like a bumper protector, transparent plastic overlay to protect the paint, particularly as we begin to get into Winter, rain, mud, wet sand.
Any thoughts or recommendations gratefully received.
thank-you

I put on the thicker TWRAPS film, but I still consciously avoid stepping on it. Had DCE's, but chickened out before putting them on. Not sure how the extra thickness and standoff (though small) would affect the door seals' ability to achieve/maintain full contact and prevent water ingress, in [rare] event of water crossing.

I had the Twraps PPF and took it off before installing the DCE's. No water leak and very good protection.

I have the TWRAPS on both of mine. Discount code on my website. I got the 10mil thinkness too. Best option if you want transparent protection.

The other products look good too.

I’d think you’d want the PPF under the DCE still to prevent wear to the painted door sill from contact with the metal plate or grime that works between the plate and the sill.

The 3M double face sticker is thick enough to prevent that.

Anyone find anything for the inner sill? Protecting the plastic sill, not the outer painted sill. It takes quite a beating.
