Xpel™ Armor Sill ProtectionUpdated 2 months ago
Please watch the quick video below. If you have an R1S, then the process shown for the front door sill is the same for the rear door.
Bellow follows an AI-generated step-by-step instructions.
Materials Needed:
- Armor Seal Protection (custom-cut for Rivian R1S/R1T)
- Alcohol wipes
Steps:
1. Clean the Door Sill:
- Use an alcohol wipe to thoroughly clean the door sill where you will be installing the Armor Seal Protection. This removes any dirt, dust, or residue that might interfere with the adhesive.
2. Align the Armor Seal Protection (Front Doors):
- Locate the two rounded edges on the Armor Seal Protection. These will be your alignment points.
- Align these rounded edges with the existing tread plate on the door sill.
- Tuck the lower edge of the Armor Seal Protection underneath the indented piece of bodywork.
3. Apply the Armor Seal Protection (Front Doors):
- Peel back a few inches of the backing from the Armor Seal Protection.
- Gently press the Armor Seal Protection onto the door sill, starting from the top and working your way down.
- Smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles with your fingers.
4. Align the Armor Seal Protection (Rear Doors):
- Locate the anchor point on the rear door sill (a small cutout to secure the door in place).
- Align the Armor Seal Protection so that it wraps around this anchor point.
- Use the existing tread plate as a guide for alignment, ensuring the Armor Seal Protection extends slightly further forward to provide extra protection.
5. Apply the Armor Seal Protection (Rear Doors):
- Peel back a few inches of the backing from the Armor Seal Protection.
- Gently press the Armor Seal Protection onto the door sill, starting from the top and working your way down.
- Smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles with your fingers.
Additional Tips:
- The Armor Seal Protection is designed to be easy to install and does not require any special tools.
- If you make a mistake, you can easily peel off the Armor Seal Protection and reapply it.
- The Armor Seal Protection is available in two colors: clear and black. The clear version is virtually invisible, while the black version provides a more rugged look.
