Does anyone know of a source for 2008 and later door sill scuff plates, either in plastic or stainless? These plates protect the painted body area between the rocker panel and the rubber door seal. I found some listed for 2001 - 2007 Escapes (OEM stainless P/N F1L8Z7813208CA or OEM black plastic P/N F1L8Z78132A08AA), but don't know if these will fit a 2010?

Taking a chance, I ordered the 1L8Z-78132A08-AA kit, even though Ford shows it as fitting only the 2001 - 2007 Escapes. Turns out it fits the 2010 Escape (and likely the 2008 and 2009 models) just fine.

Let us know if it works.

Let us know if it works.

I installed all four pieces (one for each door opening) today. No problems, and each one fits perfectly.

I thought about this but passed on it because of potential compatability issues. Now...

Has anyone tried the mentioned sill scuff plates on a 2011 XLT? I wonder if they'd fit ok.

If they fit an 08, they should fit a 09, 10, or 11.

Thanks Tang. I'm going to order them. I appreciate your reply sir.

What kills me is ones that say "Mariner" on them, from a 05-07 Mariner are like $116! :shock: I can't believe that just because of a name change Ford charges so much more for them, and they're plastic at that! Wish they were under $50 like the Escape ones...

 

[Jay2TheRescue]

My best guess is since the "mariner" ones are probably discontinued, the price has gone up due to limited supply.

Possibly. From what I can tell, after the 2007 model, they never made them for the Mariner - only Escape. I can get chrome looking ones on eBay for $10, might do that. I'd get the Escape ones.... but it would look weird opening the door and seeing Escape, not Mariner.

 

[timothyjay2004]

Well, after looking at my door sills on my Mariner, I did notice scratches and gouges. So, after contemplating, I decided to bite the bullet and order the Mariner ones from the 2005-2006 model. Wasn't cheap, but I do like how they look. The picture online from Lombard Ford showed a plain black plate with white Mariner lettering. When I got these, they were actually carbon fiber looking with chrome Mariner lettering. Was upset at first, but after I put them on, I like it. The chrome lettering looks great with the rest of the vehicle's chrome. :thumb:
