[Xe]

Anyone know if Seat UK sell sill guards/tread plates like these?

I think maybe they are these, but with no photo its hard to tell

No they are not. Had a look at some at me dealer and UK ones are stick on plastic crappy things so be careful before ordering. I'd try to have a look at some first.

I'll be interested in some when I get my FR, but don't want cheap plastic ones that's for sure.

Plastic? Anyone know where I can source Leon accessories other then from Seat UK?

 

[jon1]

the ones i got are metal, My dealer just let me look through his computer at all the accessories, and gave a discount

 

[CupraDaft]

Those for your Ibiza though? I think the new Leon seems to be a different kettle of fish.

Im gettin a leon FR 1st March so i just bought some accessories from the dealer to go straight on the car

I have installed this item on my fr tdi,but not from UK,and definitely they're not plastic

Guys, the Leon outer sill guards (stainless steel) are not available from SEAT UK. They are available in mainland Europe though ??!!
I have just bought a set from a Spanish Spares dealer, here are the pics....

I ahve the inner ones shown in the above pics, but the rear ones have come off, mother in law kicked them off getting in the car.GRRRRRRRRR

God dam in laws! Is it me or do the outher ones just look to short?

I'm liking the silver door kit, relay brightens it up.

I'm glad Im not the only one to discover the useless self adhesive tape on the door sills. When I fitted the inner sills, they came straight back off (even when stadning on them to apply max pressure). Hopeless. I resorted to Industrial Adhesive (the sealant type) for both the inner & outers, just appying small amount mind. They are certainly stuck on now!! and most definitely mother-in-law proof. If you use this fixing method, just make sure you really want the sill covers coz they are not coming off!!!!

The outer sills do look a little short, but if you look at the second pic, you will see the door frame lip starts arching up. Even if the sill plates were longer, they could not be located any further back, only further forward towards the door hinge.

 

[k4ith]

yep its glue time.

 

[CupraDaft]

Mmmn, food for thought. Still wish there was something that protected the whole area though.

 

[LordElric]

I am having the same problem,as the rear parts are not stuck well with the glue given...

 

[CupraDaft]

I'm going to Spain in three weeks so maybe I'll have a look at a dealer when I'm out - probably cheaper too!!

I have just found out how rubbish the self adhesive sills are...what exactly was the Industrial Adhesive that you used please...need some myself!

 

[m1_jdh]

Did you remove the sticky back stuff first and then apply glue straight onto underside of sill plate?

Perhaps you would be willing to detail how you did this??

Do you have a part number for these outer plates???
Edit:
Seat Sport plate: 1P0071510
Leon plate: 1P0071500

From Seat.com, but not Seat.co.uk.....

How much are they??

It might be worth using a hairdryer to warm them and the car up first before sticking them?? just a thought!!
