I just don't get it. I have never used the door sills as a step when getting out of any car. I could understand it if it was a lifted truck.

Floor mats wear out on all cars. Door sill weather stripping does not except from old age.

It's not that they are used as a step, it is that your shoes hit the rubber when getting in and out. And rear seat passengers hit it all the time when they get out.

Rubber
Please no dis respect intended but why is it that you need to put your foot there?its a door sill not a step. I just came from corvettes I wore out my seat side bolster because I wasn't getting in properly. Maybe change the way you exit and enter your car? This shouldn't be a possible warranty issue because of improper use. Good luck. If you know that putting your foot on that part damages the rubber then don't step or drag your foot on it

This is very interesting. I have a 2011 Silverado along with my 2011 Camaro. Bought them one month apart and both vehicles are just out of the 3yr/36K warranty by just a few hundred miles. I don't have this problem (yet) on the Camaro but I just noticed this the other day on my truck. Look familiar?

yes it's raised.
yes our cars have a sunken cockpit like design. yes people are going to hit it. no i don't think it's GM's fault. can you step on it? yes is it meant to be stepped on? highly doubt it should you? you decide i always lift my leg to avoid it but sadly my passenger side doesn't always get the same treatment. just like how i sit properly in the bucket seat, but passengers seem to sit improperly making the seat wear faster.. aggravating? absolutely.. is it anyone's fault? only if you believe it is. similar to the kick plate area.. its going to get hit.. and if the speaker constantly takes hits, there may be issues.. many front doors to houses have a rubber weather strip.. and from normal wear/people colliding with it it needs to be replaced. in both cases its just a matter of putting effort to lift higher. |

That's different. My weather stripping started wearing out very shortly after I got the the car, if I was to buy new shoes or new floor mats that wore out after 1 month. I wouldn't be buying that exact same brand again either
