I don't think they are cheap approx £80 IIRC

Speak to Nick Lee (forum name 'the large one')at Yeovil LR his a site sponsors or Duckworths Parts who are also sponsors too

Stuck on with 3M double sided tape so i assume simple to fit, but getting straight might be a different matter Laughing Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

If I am correct the strips fit into the crease on the door making them easier to align correctly At work

Hi - had my side rubbing strips fitted by dealer before delivery of vehicle so got the 3 year warranty included for them. Obviously more expensive than self fit but the versions on the Freelander 1 I have owned (old HSE model) did start to become detached in part and the only realistic way of getting them restuck is to start from scratch with a new set.
From what I recall the dealer heats up the doors with hot air gun to get the self adhesive tape on the rear of the strips to stick more effectively.
As has been commented the crease along the doors is a good alignment guide so I would go for it. Already had several times when strips have prevented damage to doors so well worth the outlay.

Fitted the side rubbing strips a couple of weeks back takes about twenty minutes, they need to be measured up from the bottom of the doors, the instructions supplied give the measurements and they fit with the 3m tape just above and below the original crease in the door, paid £55 for them via the best offer bid on fleabay including postage from Stratstone, Miilton Keynes which it seems is owned by Reg Vardy, never knew that,
