I wanted to cover up the wear, but all four doors look great and obviously better protected now.

I installed those last year, they are now pealing off. next time I will buy a roll of skateboard grip tape and cut them myself!

That's what I did for the rear doors on mine and skate tape hasn't lifted one bit in 3 years. And my kids abuse it. Oh and it was only $8 for enough to do two doors plus.

Take a look at

Amazon

They are a bit more than Skateboard grip tape but it has more of an OEM look.

Have had a set on my truck for 4+/- years without incident.

I mean, you should be washing the area down, wiping it with alcohol, applying the pad, holding for 30 seconds to keep it down. It also wouldn't hurt to stick some actual epoxy/silicone adhesive under it instead of relying on "sticky stuff" to do the job for you.

I like the pads, they have just the right mount of grip. But I wish they would have lasted longer. I am now looking for an adhesive that will let me glue the corners back down without being permanent as to remove the paint If I decide to remove them later.
