Hi guys. Just wanted to share my not so good experience when I bought these non-OEM aluminum running boards made in Taiwan (or China - not sure). They fit perfectly and the install was less than 30 minites.
However...
1. the side of the aluminum board seem to have a slight dent on the points where there are I think rivets or clamps. Compared them with their other running boards in stock and they allbhave these dents :-(
2. When you step on the running boards to get in (I weigh something like 190 lbs.), the rubber studs I stepped on go in the aluminum board and stay stuck inside. I had to pull them out with nose pliers! Grrrrr!
Aside from the 2 issues above they serve the purpose for my kids, they look pretty and looked OEM for a minimal cost.
Any of you tried these non-OEM boards? Are there quick fixes or solution to the rubber stud issues? I was thinking of dismantling the boards and inserting a 2nd layer of rubber inside so that the rubber studs stay in place. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I'm sure the smartest and quickest way to deal with this is to return them - but I'm not considering returning them at the moment at least not just yet.
