You can easily overlook the small things, particularly with cars. Drivers often worry about horsepower, fuel mileage, or maybe the touch-sensitive dashboard that responds to a whisper. But down low, buried just below your door, is an unsung hero that never receives the attention it really deserves: the car door sill.You see, that piece of sidewalk you bump into while entering, or the area that takes the impact of dirty shoes during rainy days.
It’s not there to decorate. It is not there simply to exist. Though it might resemble a simple piece of metal or plastic, that sill plays a surprisingly big role both in the design of your car and its longevity. The next time you push open the door of your car, maybe take a moment and just nod ever so slightly at that sill.
