Frame Protection Strips

Post by cannon24889 » Sun May 31, 2020 1:57 pm

Does anyone know if you can get replacement strips that are on the frame where you step into the car.

A old chap wanted a ride but struggled to get his leg over and has slights scuffed the frame protector, tried to t cut them but it doesn't do anything.

Any tips would be appreciated

Try using a 'magic eraser' cleaning pad sponge!

I've used 3M 8671HS tape to protect additional areas on the frame and you can buy it in various sizes depending on what you want to use it for. I will say it is slightly thicker than what Ariel use but appears to be more durable. Use a corner punch to round the edges and make it look like the factory stuff.

Try using "magic sponge" as I found that worked best to remove all shoe scuffs from the protection tape.
