Default Door Sill

When people get in and out of your car, their shoes and whatnot tend to scratch the door sills...
There are the Door sill protectors that are sold, the illuminated one, and the tC one. However, there is still one more lip that is exposed even with those on, and I don't want that to get scratched. Has anybody heard of another way to protect the door sill from careless people who may scratch the door sill?

I was thinking that maybe a vinyl sticker may protect it, but I don't know to what extend, or the price on one to run along the bottom of the door sill.

Any opinions or suggestions?

Tell them to pick up their damn feet. Mine are over 3 yrs old and aren't in bad shape at all. If you're getting bad scratches already, you're going to have problems...

'Ladies of the night' and their 3" Stilettos can't pick up their damn feet. (I keed, I keed.)

Seriously, buy some clear bra in bulk and DIY.

I might try and do this when it's not 103 degrees outside.

Yeah the bulk clear bra should do the trick. I've had a few scuffs/scratches esp. on my old skirts/sides. I keep telling my gf to fully open the door before she gets out of the car. Sigh.

Skip the vynil that stuff melts and bonds to the car. Get 3M Clearbra for the side skirts. I had my tint guy put it on this is the same stuff they put onto the front of the car to protect the paint from 90mph rock impacts.

I'll take the clear bra suggestion, and have it to my house by the time I take delivery on my car. I know it will be a problem, however obviously, there are no scratches on the car yet.
