How Do You Remove The Drivers Door Sill Plate?

[RK Racing]

**** Updated**** 2023 Ranger Lariat…… I need to remove the drivers door sill plate. I’m really unlucky in removing things with tabs on it. I break more than a few of them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I did Google it and I did search it on here and I couldn’t find anything for this generation ranger. Thank you for your help.

Just use a plastic trim tool and it'll pop right off. I took mine off routing the dash cam wires to my rear cam on my '19. Just lift from the edge and slowly pry up and it'll pop off. IIRC there's 3 tabs holding it down.

I have this set here and used the second one over from left to right.

Pull!

Thank you.

yup, just pull them.

If you do break them off, the replacement plates are like 70 bucks each . . .

Oh I thought they only come as an assembly, with the car!
Nah seriously it just pulls up, I did mine to put in the brake controller wire. Just take it slow and easy and you won't break anything.

8 foot pry bar, cutting torch. “Ford Tuff”. Since already previously properly answered

Good advice above (maybe not the bit about the torch, but I think you knew that).
Before I pulled anything apart, I ordered this kit online.

That works, unless your dealer breaks the actual tabs on the part off...

Pull it straight up, “”they said””. It’s easy, “”they said””…………. Well, I warned you guys…… I am that unlucky guy……. I pulled it up as gently as possible with the right pry tools and everything sounded right and good as it was being pulled up, but I still managed to break the front tab holder. Oh well….. I really really really thought I was pulling it up perfectly with zero damage but shit happens. Lol…….. I’m going to try to use crazy glue to glue that black piece on and if that doesn’t work I’m going to put a 1/2” x 2” wood lag bolt screw right through the top of that sill plate and that will hold that MF down….lol.

Ford and dodge clips are very janky so it's rare to not break one when pulling panels.

That is unlucky. I yanked mine off a bunch of times with nothing breaking.

Although I did break my window switch tab and had to glue it back down.

You might try some Locktite glue.
