I had fitted on delivery from accessories list"Door sill protective film,black with silver insert",they cover almost the entire sill, black with silver highlights,looks very smart.
Cost=$203.36 for set of four.
No problems with clearance from door as close fitting.

Like all the accessories it sounds very expensive. I wonder if clear is available? I like the clean uncluttered look that it has at present but I want the protection.

I had the same black and silver ones installed.
Yes you can also get clear but I suspect it would be a lot cheaper to go to a tint or wrapping place and have it done there.

I've tried that and was quoted $360 for 4 sills. Must try some other places.

Whispbar through bar system & Thurle bike carrier. Very happy with the fit and finish and no wind noise!

Just looked up Whispbar and this video pretty much sums it up!

Although the only video I found where someone didn't have such a good experience:
