Door edge guard for sliding door

[chilow]

are these available for the 2011 Sienna? One of my sliding doors already has 2 chips in it I looked on Toyota's website and they don't have any listed.

Are you referring to side moldings? If so, some are having success with BodySideMoldings.com. If you are talking about the actual edge, I'm not sure what's available, though I'm surprised that you're getting chips there.

Talking about these things. Mine came with it for both front doors, but I was wondering if they're available for the sliding doors.

Hmm. I'd imagine that they aren't available since the chances of hitting something with a sliding door (like another car/cart return etc.) are so slim with the slider. You'd almost need something customizable. Search for "door edge guard" on amazon and quite a few choices pop up, though not color keyed of course - probably would have to go with clear. Alternatively, you could order the ones for the front doors and put them on the sliders. Probably would be pretty darn close to the correct length on the front edge of the sliding doors, the rear edge would be a different story...

Any auto parts store will have the door edge guards. There two kinds: ones that just snap on or ones that have 3M tape in the inside that stick to the door making it very hard to remove. You just dry fit it and cut to length. The slightly hard part is matching your color. I'd go either basic black or clear if you're worried about color matching.

I've never seen these for the sliding doors...at least not a custom color-matched product like Toyota sells for the front doors. I have a set for the front doors and didn't care for them either. They only cover the top part of the door and look a little wonky in my book.

I got the front door edge guards in Predawn Mica for $49.33 including shipping. They're metal, and look OK, but I'm a bit disappointed in how short they are. Here's a picture of them on the floor; when I get a chance to install them I'll add one of them in action.

'Twas no big deal. I had the rubber hammer required, and found the instructions on the web at http://toyotapart.com/PT936-08110-02.pdf.

Here are a few shots. They look fine to me (the guards; the pix are kind of boring), but I'm still not sure how much protection they'll really afford.

looks good because they are hard to see! i might consider these.

You can get the clear, black or some other color (forget what that is) from Advance Auto Parts in pair for 1 package ($11 or $12 something). They come in long strips, not like what akphs received from Toyota.

Correction on the price. It's $3.99/pair (1 package) from Advance Auto Parts. I just installed clear ones on rear side of front and sliding doors. They look good.

The third color is probably chrome. I looked at these, but the wife wanted color-match. "It's only money"!

Yes, it's chrome. Thanks akphs.
