Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice style, looks almost OEM. Bought again. Updated 6/22/19

update. Have been using it for about 3 months. Still use, though. If you leave them in the car while driving (not recommended*), you better watch out. The magnet side attached to the car door has a smooth surface. This is the shiny part shown in one of my photos. After a while I also noticed that dirt had gotten between the magnetic side and the car's fairing. Scratches left on the vehicle while driving were found on the paintwork of the car. To solve this problem. 1. I sealed the protective film with blue masking tape, leaving the smooth magnetic side exposed. 2. Apply 3-4 coats of gummed black paint. I used plasti dip. Most brands of gummed paint can probably also be used. 3. After 24 hours of curing, the masking tape was removed. TA Dah. The rubber pad is now in contact with the car finish. If anything, the rubber coating improved protection by preventing skidding (movement) while reducing the likelihood of scratching the vehicle's surface. So if you plan to use them while driving. You might want to rubberize the contact with an automatic door panel. If you also notice that the black plastic side of the tread DISAPPEARS a bit after 3 months of sun exposure. An Armorall wipe restored the tread's rich black appearance, but I was a bit surprised that the sun was fading so quickly!. plastic quality? I still have the black plastic/rubber trim on the car but the last time I used Armorall was about a year ago. All in all, it's still a great solution. However, just look out for side effects or areas that can be improved. March 2019 I have a Hyundai Elantra 4-door. They almost look like original equipment. The magnets feel pretty strong. If you have a four-door. You need to buy two pairs of these. They extend almost the entire width of a door. I bought a second set after receiving the first purchase. In many places in the instructions it says that they are not designed/tested for use while driving. I would take them off for constant 60+ mph freeway driving. However, in my opinion the magnets are strong enough to withstand light travel and/or average weather conditions. I've been wearing them for about two weeks and they haven't moved yet.
