Dont know about wind noise....if I dont add "noisy" to post... it still seals

Obviously too late for most of us, but you can install paint protection film and prevent this before any damage is there.

Could have fixed that with a felt marker in 10 seconds.

I was thinking longer term, when the primer/galvanizing gets worn through

LOL... mine goes off road though the bush... we call our scratches "bragging rights".

 

[MellonRover]

In due time. I just retired my 95 mercedes from daily duty, I always try to head off damage before it's an issue.
You can bet when I get my bush pinstripes I'll wear them with pride.

So I can now classify myself as OCD , here's a thread I started:

Interior sill plate protection

Just wondering if anyone has found/installed an interior sill plate protector? My paint work is pretty scratched up and I'd like to (1) cover it up and (2) give it some more protection; here's a photo: Ideally the solution would have some curvature to it so that it wraps over the issue...

So you just used the grips to bend the Discovery 5 plates, any downsides yet?

 

[MellonRover]

Yep, the plates only cover the main wear areas, and the rear are really small.

Started with the vice, then tweaked with the pliers. Door seems to seal just fine, no discernable downsides.
3M double sided is sticking strong after a good isopropyl wipe down on the truck.
