I have a question. On my 2012 M-sport, I have body matched black sapphire running boards (not the alum ones). Since they are plastic I have never been sure how sturdy they are, if they should be stepped on by kids and adults.
For you guys that have removed, are they reinforced from inside? PAX5 those smaller inner parts in your pics, are those metal? Do they support the weight of stepping on the plastic runners? It appears so but want to know for sure.
I typically step right over them, but my little kids have to use them. To my alarm, the last time I paid to have my X5 hand washed, I saw the (pretty large) guy stand on those to reach the roof while washing. Since they seemed to be fine I didn't say anything, but it got me thinking to ask this.
Of course I realize that the painted sills may not hold up as well to shoes as the aluminum.
