They look like the door edge guards you would see back in the 1970s, but they fit on the running board. Does anyone know a vender which sells them? What is the proper name so I can search efficiently on line? Thanks Posted on: 2019/8/26 19:22

So they are a 3/4inch wide strip of rubber with metal arrow ends on each end. I would imagine you would buy a length and install the arrow ends. Hope that makes some sense.

Aluminum channel, with spear or wedge shaped ends, ad a vinyl insert material. I just purchased some from these guys: customautotrim.com/ Posted on: 2019/8/27 14:02
