FAQs
Will these fit my specific vehicle?
The PB-4 is designed for universal fitment, but please measure your door sill area to ensure the 330x32 mm dimensions will provide adequate coverage for your specific model.
Can I remove the profiles later?
Yes, they can be removed by gently heating the adhesive with a hairdryer to soften it before carefully peeling them away. You may need a mild adhesive remover to clean any remaining residue.
Do I need to use screws?
No, these are designed for drill-free installation using high-strength automotive-grade adhesive backing.
Can these be painted?
The stainless steel surface is designed for a metallic finish; painting is not recommended as it may wear off due to the constant foot traffic.
Is the material rust-proof?
They are made of stainless steel, which offers high resistance to rust and corrosion, making them suitable for all-weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Profile is lifting at the edges
This is usually caused by inadequate surface cleaning. Remove the profile, clean the sill with rubbing alcohol, apply new double-sided automotive mounting tape, and reattach.
Difficulty with alignment
Use masking tape to create a guide or marker on the door sill before peeling the adhesive backing to ensure the profile is perfectly centered.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the PB-4 profiles is a straightforward process. First, thoroughly clean the door sill area with a degreasing agent to remove dirt, wax, and oils; this step is critical for the adhesive to bond properly. Peel the backing from the adhesive strips, carefully align the profile on the sill, and press firmly for several seconds. Avoid getting the area wet for at least 24 hours after application to allow the adhesive to reach full strength. To keep them clean, simply wipe down with a mild detergent and a damp cloth; avoid abrasive scrubbing pads that might dull the stainless steel finish.
