Genuine Mercedes-Benz Door Sills

All About Door Sills

What They are

Crosspieces at the bottoms of each of a vehicle's door frames; you step over them each time you get into or out of your car or SUV.

What They Do

Though they're easy to miss, they're more important than you may think. The simplest, sill plates, are often just decorative, stylish accents for the frames themselves, but there are a few other kinds, each with a specific job to do.

Some prominently showcase a Mercedes-Benz model name and/or trim level. Others light up, illuminating the sill area in the process, thanks to tap-in power lines; they're great ways to call attention to the luxury brand or iconic three-point-star logo you love.

Door kick plates, however, do a couple things. For one, they reduce sill wear. Secondly, they help keep the areas around the sill clean, much like sill protectors do.

Door sill seals, on the other hand, help keep dirt and rainwater from seeping into your interior. In turn, this helps keep your floor plastics and upholstery cleaner. Last, but not least, sill enhancements make a sill even more eye-catching; molding, trim, and appliques are a few prime examples of them.

When to Replace Them

Though this isn't a question that arises often, it's one with a straightforward answer: when they wear out, get damaged, or break. You can also change them if you want a change of style. But whether you're doing repairs or making a few upgrades, you should be sure to buy the genuine article, not aftermarket door sills.
