I did the back first so if I made a mistake it was in the back where I seldom use. When I went to put the fronts on I noticed they were very long. So long they curved back up on the sill. I trimmed the edge so it would follow the curve. I actually got more coverage. I’m just wondering if I got the wrong ones. And yes I got the air bulbs out!

    Just guessing from the lengths. I think you got AC on a DBLC

    That’s what I’m thinking! Which with more coverage up front I’m not complaining. Back seats don’t get used a whole lot.

    I have them on my truck coverage is about the same on front and back doors. Yours are way longer in the front and looks to be about 1/2 the length in the back.

    Like others have suggested i think you got AC however, I do like that the front offers more protection on yours
    Here’s how mine look

    Yes. I just trimmed it for the upward curve. Not complaining. I like the extra protection!

    Follow the instructions, clean area well with alcohol, avoid doing it in the FL sun (cause it is freaking hot as hell), and have a beer afterwards. :thumbsup:

    I just finished putting mine on. That’s the AC but I like the extra coverage on the front. I couldn’t find instructions anywhere so I just did it like tint/vinyl decals. Clean with alcohol, wet with solution (few drops of dawn in warm water), make sure to wet sill and back of protector. Lay into place, they will slide right under the seal no need to remove trim and seal. Squeegee water out and clean up. I did find it extra helpful to pre- bend the protectors before hand. Made for much easier install.

    Or better yet, gash it up and when you can't stand it anymore, cover it with the protectors :D
