The next time you climb into the driver's seat of your Toyota, take a look down at the bottom of the door frame. There's where you'll find the door sills. These crosspieces team with your floor mats to help keep the factory floor liner free from water, dirt, and debris that can enter your cabin when the door's open.

There's one at every door on your car, SUV, van, or pickup, and they're available in many types. Scuff plates are the most basic. Others may come with your make, model, or even trim level detailed on them. Then there are the illuminated door sills, which not only look cool but also make it easier to get into and out of your vehicle at night.

When and How to Replace Your Door Sills

You're the only one who can decide when it's time to replace your original door sills, as it's all a matter of personal taste and your comfort level with scuffed sills. Replacing them is a simple DIY project, though. Remove any screws present, lift the old door sill up until the adhesive strips let go, and the plate comes right off. Scrape away the old adhesive, add new adhesive, carefully press your new sill into place, and put the screws back in if necessary.

Choose Genuine OEM Door Sills

When shopping for new door sills, it's worth keeping in mind that only the ones made by Toyota are guaranteed to fit your model's specific dimensions. Order yours from our online auto parts catalog and you'll be updating your style in no time at all!
