The thing beside the door sill.....whatchamacallit

Does anyone know what this part is called, beside the door sill. I can't seem to find the right term for it.

Also has anyone had any experience removing this? It's all scuffed up and i was either going to paint it, or just replace it. i see two little screw covers (which almost seem crazy glued in there )

Thanks!

They are available in leather and look great.

You would have to replace the whole door sill with the leather one. Sold on Suncoast Parts.

I do not think you have to replace the entire door sill. the part I am referring to is the Inner Sill Finisher. It is between the door sill and the seat.
You can see it on the Porsche Car Configurator, Options, Interior Leather.

I believe you have to remove the 2 fasteners on the seat side, and then pry it up vertically. There will be some friction fasteners/posts that pull out of slots in the metal underneath. I removed the right hand side and it came up pretty easily. Haven't done the driver's side but I believe it is the same principle. Those look like plugs that have to be removed on the seat side.

Check out the MB Carbon site they have carbon ones for replacement as well as the photos on how to remove the drivers side-much tougher
