How to Fix a Peeling Door Sill Guard

A peeling sill guard usually means poor surface prep or heat failure. Fix it by cleaning the area, pressing firmly, or replacing the strip; a lifted edge collects dirt and looks worse than none.

Diagnose the cause

Lifted corners mean dust under the adhesive or summer heat; clean and re-press, or replace.

Replace if torn

Once a guard tears it will not re-stick; swap it for a fresh universal strip.
