Had to have driver door repainted, no one can find the rock chip guard.

[THEDK]

So I had to have the door repainted... unfortunately the body shop couldn't find the little clear rock chip guard that adheres to the bottom of the door.

We tried a number of Toyota dealers and they claim to not have heard of such a thing. However, it was a factory item that came on the 4 runner.

Can anyone help with tracking down a part number?

PT929-89100 is listed on my port prep sheet for my 2016.

It is probably a kit of all the films they apply though.

*EDIT* looks like if you add -PS or -DS you can get the passenger or driver side separately.

Many years ago when this kind of stuff came out I had a body shop. At that time it was sprayed on with a paint gun but I have not kept up with current products.

Used to be called Gravel Guard and was sprayed on. Now it's a thick film very similar to clear bra material.

You don't want to use the spray on stuff over the top coat/clear coat - it will never look right.

Take it to a clear bra installer for the proper film. Shouldn't cost much at all, That is all it is.

Glad my OCD to keep all paperwork helped someone out!

Saw this material first time a few weeks ago. It was on a white 4running. Coincidentally the 4rnr was ordered by the dealer without rigid running boards.

That would be great all the way up the doors to protect from brush on the trails.

I got a clear bra highway package done, covered the whole front end about a foot down the fenders and hood and mirrors, that was $600 dealer cost, clear wrapping the full sides of the truck would probably cost like $2,000.

^^ correct
3M Rocker Panel Coating gets sprayed on, before the BC/CC painted topcoat is applied / not to be used, after lower of vehicle is spray painted.
Than the repair looks professional, in terms of texture & the coating won't absorb moisture or be hard to cleanup.

The part # PT929-89100 is a 4 piece kit to cover both sides. If you add a DS or PS to the part # you can get the 2 piece kit for each side. I had to order one of these kits for my 16' Trail 2 months after I bought it due to careless neighbor that caused a repaint of the entire driver side. Not fun trying to find this part for the body shop.

Just a little advice if anybody tries to put on the film and hasn't tried to do it before:

Do not attempt to put the film on dry. Even the best installers would have a hard time doing dry film right.

Proper steps are:

1) Thoroughly clean and de-wax the area where the film will go
2) Put a little dish soap with water in a spray bottle and spray the film placement area
3) Position the film
4) Spray the outside of the film for lubrication
5) Using a small handheld window tint (rubber) squeegee slowly work from the center out to remove the soap/water solution and air bubbles out from under the film

The film will usually have a milky haze until all the moisture has dried out from under it.

The key is patience. If you ever want to watch a master do it on a much bigger decal/film, catch the Cuda billboard edition of Graveyard Carz. Mark Worman puts that giant 'Cuda 440 billboard decal on with perfection. Much bigger than our rock chip film but the same process. ;-)
