We got a 2016 Hybrid Limited that came with door sill protectors. They are not the applique that are paper thin but more like stainless protectors.
Not from this forum but from other makes and even the Tacoma forums, there seems to be some issue with moisture retention / trapped underneath these sill protectors. Of course, not everyone finds out because not everyone attempts to remove the sill protector a few years down the road to see what the underneath looks like.
Anyone know if the ones that come with RAV4 shouldn't be an issue down the road? This should be covered by the corrosion warranty, correct?
For most complaints, they are about protectors that are attached via tabs where the areas that accommodate the tabs trap water/moisture though I'm not sure if moisture will also be an issue with protectors using 3M double sided adhesives if it allows for breathability.
