Received my putco chrome 4 piece door sill plates which is an OEM Ford Accessory. Sure looks like the small door sill plates for the rear door are unfinished . Anyone have a picture of what the rears should look like for the crew cab?

 

Where'd you order from. I like those pieces

 

Ummmm, you have to peel off the protective film......

 

Yes there is a film on the rears as they should just be plain and nothing written on them, however the fronts are wider and have the text. here is a pic I found online with the darker "platinum" colored ones installed.

 

Ummmm, I tried that. Look at one of the corners. It was not a simple pick the corner and peel up which is why I stopped. If they are not supposed to have the logo then I will attack the corners again but I don't get why the fronts came peeled and the rears came with a cover.

 

They are a Ford Accessory so you can get from any dealer. Part number is VHC3Z99132A08B

 

Attack the corners again. That's a protective film.

 

They are bent and shaped by a machine, THEN engraved/printed.. since the rears don't get that treatment, no need to peel them before shipping.

 

What is the secret to application? I can just see myself having a quarter inch sticking up on one of the top corners.

 

Install is tricky. I measured the setback from the bend and made a line on my truck so i knew how far the top edge needed to be placed to get the bend in the right spot. Started at the top placing the edge against my line and with a slight bend pressure to flex the side out away from the truck to get the bend to stick before it. Then stuck from the bend down to the bottom. They are not going anywhere they stick good.

 

How much do they cost?

 

I HAVE TO HAVE A SET!!!

 

Have had mine for a couple thousand miles now. I like em for banging my muddy boots against... and they still look good.

 

That protective cover can be really hard to remove but it will come off. You could try heating it up a bit and see what happens.

 

Yep, took the wife's hair dryer to them last night and the cover peeled right off.
