Rear sill / arch protection film

[dangreenwood79]

So after a few scabs started on the sill where Skoda chose not to spray the stonechip high enough I had them done with stone ship up to the door bottom and then top coated and lacquered. The bodyshop told me they would remove and fade it under where the OEM plastic film just in front of the rear arches is (it's a 2010 VRS estate) so to order some new ones.

 

I've got the car back and the new films from Skoda but the line isn't quite what I expected. I've attached a picture (note the outer edge is where 2 are cut into 1 on a sheet, I realise it's not the edge of the real film) but there is a bit that sticks out.

 

Could anyone post a picture of the film on their car please so I can see if these are right or how to line up please?

 

Many many thanks!

hi, hope these are ok. basically the bottom of the film sits at the top of the textured sill coating, which means the top lines up with the bottom of the door moulding.  fit them with a light spray of soapy water to allow you adjustment if necessary.

Thanks for those gents, you've confirmed what I thought that mine seem to be wrong. On the inside of the curve on the door side, mine has the extra section, not a continuous curve. If I lined up the rest, this would overlap into the door jam and certainly not stick down.

Do you have the part number of what was supplied? According to the parts catalogue you should have 

 

1Z0807905 for Left

1Z0807906 for Right

Same except part number ends in an F, does that make a difference?

Just looked on the parts catalogue again and the ones ending in F are for cars made between 3/4/10 & 4/4/10! Is the tab to line it up with the door then you have to trim around the edge once in place?

There is a section that folds over into the door jamb.

Here is a picture of it on my 2012 car. Is that what you meant? :-

Well I never, this must a running change or something as I even saw another 2010 car yesterday that didn't have the lip. 

 

I'll try and get it fitted. 

 

Thanks again

guess what? ive just double checked mine (the red one in the pics) and the nearside which was repaired has the folded over lip into the door shut. the offside is original and doesnt!

My guess is that the fold over piece was introduced to stop the narrow front from coming unstuck and lifting.
