Door sills are lifting up...

My door sills are lifting on my 03 R50. They seem to be bending to the point where theres a slight crease. Anyone have a quick fix solution or know where to get cheap replacements that wont unstick?

-thanks

When I asked my dealer how much for OEM replacements they said $78- EACH! minimania.com has them for $70, plus shipping.

Several NAM Vendors have non-OEM replacements; I haven't found one that I like.

Kind of wish mine were, then I would have to install the after market ones that I've had so long I forgot where I bought them Maybe ebay?
Never have gotten those side skirts painted body color.

Why are yours bending?

I think they were lifting up a bit and they got caught on a shoe or somthing...

They look pretty bad. Do you want to sell yours?
