It is a fairly thick clear film. https://www.tintacar.com.au/car/car-protection/paint-protection-film Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94702-my-wheelchair-keeps-scratching-my-side-skirts/#findComment-1680707 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so you could go to an upholstery place and they could make you up a flip out guard like a scuff guard similar to the 4wds have in the boot to flip down over the rear bar. If done right it could look Schmick and be barely noticeable.

It’s designed much like a bonnet protector to stop stone chips etc so it should be fine for what you want it for Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94702-my-wheelchair-keeps-scratching-my-side-skirts/#findComment-1680780 Share on other sites More sharing options...
