Leather Inner Door Sills with Deviated or Matching Stitching
Porsche’s are beloved by those who share a common passion for engineering, performance and heritage; however, not everyone knows just how expansive, intricate and costly the "tick-able options" list really is. Every Leather-holic with a 991 or 981 on order usually opts for the obvious "Extended Dash Package" or at least the Leather Steering Column Casing; however, another more obscure leather option in particular is very important from a "first impression" point of view. In fact, one of the larger leather options available in a 991/981.
When swinging the doors open to enter the interior, you're usually greeted with a long exposed strip of raw plastic that covers the length of the door sill openings. These standard inner door sills do not match the materials or plastics used in the rest of the 991/981 interior; utilitarian looking to say the least. The inner sills are made from raw textured and unfinished plastic, looking directly sourced from the same materials that are used in the VW parts bin. Perhaps made this way for durability reasons, in most cases these get scuffed up or scrapped up anyways from unassuming shoes. Replacing these Sills with leather was indeed a factory option...
Our Exclusive Option Leather Inner Door Sills feature rich hand fitted leather with matching or deviated stitching that complement the existing interior specification. The first impression when entering the interior will now be ultimate craftsmanship and quality through and through. Similar in stitch design and spec to the original optional Leather parts, our Leather Inner Door Sills will blend in perfectly to the rest of the interior. Durability on these are quite good as the leather chosen is the proper specification for a balance fit, finish and durability, unless deliberately abused our leather sills should stand test of time. With just a hint of extra care and mindfulness when entering and exiting, you shouldn't worry much about durability when compared to the easily marred standard plastic units
Even noticeable when sitting down and with doors shut, the Leather Inner Door Sill Trims add that extra row of horizontal stitching to each side of the cabin and reinforce the full Leather, tailored bespoke look we all strive for. Continuing the visual flow of stitching design that eventually moves up towards the Leather Dash and around the whole interior. Finish off your 991/981 interior...while providing that grand entrance detailing that matches the quality of the rest.
Utilizing OEM cores, simple snap-in installation, and fitment that conform to factory specification. We have provided these to countless 991/981 owners that missed ordering these from the factory or couldn't get them on GT models. All factory leather colors and thread options are available.

I took my inner seal off to look at it the other day. I could not figure out how the heck you remove the frunk/engine latch mechanism from the sill. I would be afraid to tackle this unless I can be shown how to remove that mechanism. I was able to get the sill out and unlatch the electrical connector, but the electrical mechanism is really in there. I am sure others will have the same question. Thanks in advance
Keithgreer,
The switch mechanism is held in place by plastic wedged clips. Once you unplug the unit and flip it over on a flat surface, you will notice openings in which you may use a thin trim tool to expand the opening and pushing the mechanism out. You may have to use the trim tool for both sides to give it enough clearance.
Once it is removed, you may place back in the new unit and plug back in. Most components in 991 can be removed with trims tools .
Please let us know if you have any further questions regarding the installation on the driver's side. We will be more than happy to assist.
Nice, but I would be afraid to wear my shoes getting in the car.
For a good reason. My Ferrari F430 had these and I had to be so careful getting in and out. I swore I would never have them again. Fortunately, the 911 has a much easier egress.
