Fitting a Stainless Steel Plate on the Boot Sill of a Toyota RAV-4

Model: Toyota Rav 4 MK 4, Xa40 - Years 2013-2018
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, you will see how to fit a stainless steel protection strip on the door sills of a Toyota RAV-4. This is not just any aluminium strip, but solid stainless steel, which can be found on cartrimhome.com by searching for "Door sill protectors" and your RAV model. The 4-piece kit costs £37.00, with an additional £16.00 for shipping. The installation is extremely simple; after thoroughly cleaning the door sill, simply remove the adhesive backing from the strip and firmly attach the protection to the sill. As shown in the video, if it had been fitted earlier, it would have prevented damage.
