Door sills are simple accessories that protect the metal door frame in your vehicle. Many Chrysler Pacifica owners choose genuine illuminated sills to protect their paint and add a premium aesthetic to their vehicle.

Why Protecting Your Vehicle's Entryway Matters

Over time, stepping on the metal door frame can wear through the clear coat, leading to scratches and potential corrosion. Genuine door sill protectors are designed with a specific material thickness that acts as a sacrificial barrier, similar to how all-weather mats protect your carpet floor.

The Correct Way to Install Door Sill Plates

1. Clean the Surface Area

Thoroughly wash the door frame and use isopropyl alcohol to remove all wax and grease.

2. Perform a Dry Fit

Place the sill on the frame without removing the tape backing. Mark the corners with tape to ensure it is perfectly centered.

3. Peel and Position

Remove the protective film from the adhesive and carefully lower the sill into position. Do not apply pressure until alignment is confirmed.

4. Apply Firm Pressure

Once aligned, use a microfiber cloth to press down firmly across the entire sill for at least 60 seconds to activate the bond.

5. Test the Sliding Door

Slowly close the sliding door to ensure the new sill does not interfere with the rubber weather stripping or the latch mechanism.
