Hey guys on the stock tubed running boards, are the rubber grips glued down or do they have clips??? Going to spray them with bed liner this weekend but didn't want to pry on the grips if it was glue
I think they're clipped. Mine was coming up a little and I pushed it down and heard a lil snap. So idk. Hell just spray the whole thing. If anything you'll get a little more grip out of em. Since they tend to get a lil slick when wet.
I could but I would still want to remove the pad and spray under it....the seam where the pad meets the board would cause an edge in the paint/BL and one slip of the foot over that edge will have it chipping.....screw it i'll just try it.....if i mess them up i'll leave em off all together or it will give me an excuse to buy the RBP or Rhino steps :redblob"
Tape them off, thats what I did, no lip, and no chipping, been on for about 18 months. I use the step occasionally on my side, my wife uses it all the time on hers, haven't had a problem.
This is from when I originally did them in Feb of 2011, they look the same, just a little dirtier today.
