Glance down the next time you enter your BMW car or SAV. You'll notice crosspieces at the bottom of the door frame. That’s the door sill. You have one at each door to your vehicle's cabin, and they serve an important role. Teamed with a good set of floor mats, they help keep water, dirt, and debris from getting into your cabin and ruining the factory floor liner.

There are many types of door sills, making it easy to find one that suits your tastes. Scuff plates, while basic, are the most common. Others may come with your make, model, or even trim level noted on them. There are also illuminated door sills, which help when it comes to getting into and out of your vehicle at night.

How to Replace Door Sills

While the decision of when to replace your door sills depends on how you feel about scuffed sills, it's a good idea to know what's involved when it comes to replacing them. First, remove any screws. Then lift the old door sill up until the adhesive strips let go, and the plate will come right off. Scrape away any old adhesive residue and apply new adhesive. Carefully press the new sill into place and then add the screws back in.
