Rockslider or Side Bar?
Thank you for your interest in one of the products. To help you decide, we would like to explain the difference.
In off-road use, the sills on the vehicle are particularly at risk when driving over crests or through lateral rolling or even tilting movements with ground contact. There are two solutions from SEIKEL to protect against damage, whereby the Rockslider can be described as a further development of the sill bars:
- Sill bars: these aluminium profile tubes with a wall thickness of approx. 4 mm are mounted on edge on the left and right under the sill, slightly inside under the vehicle. In this way, they primarily protect against damage to the vehicle directly from underneath, e.g. when driving over or sliding over crests, and are barely visible.
- Rockslider: This is an extremely stable sill protector, which also protects the sill from lateral damage due to its design features. This is possible because it is a transverse aluminium box profile with a 4mm wall thickness on the bottom side, which protrudes slightly above the bodywork under the vehicle sill.
Both products are available for T5/T6 with short and long wheelbase.
Vehicles with SEIKEL sill bars already installed can be converted to SEIKEL Rockslider. However, depending on the constellation, also in connection with a possibly installed tank protection plate, adaptations are necessary, which we calculate individually for our customers after informing them of their circumstances on the enquiry form.

Maintenance
The available protective elements for the vehicle underbody and body are made of high-quality and untreated aluminium. Negative environmental influences, aggressive and unsuitable cleaning agents (e.g. acidic), road salt or/and insufficient care make the surface appear unsightly. Surface finishing (powder coating/painting/anodising) of the protective elements is possible, but we do not recommend it. These products are exposed to very different and unfavourable influences at the installation site, such as road dirt and stone chips. Depending on the intended use of the vehicle, various surface finishes have proven to be less durable and long-lasting in the past; the aluminium profiles then quickly look very unsightly. A guarantee on the durability of the surface finish is therefore not possible under any circumstances! Basically, we advise the following for the various protective elements of the vehicle underbody:In order to maintain the driving safety and function of all parts, we recommend removing heavy dirt from the vehicle underbody and the add-on parts. For this purpose, the existing protective plates of the vehicle underbody (e.g. engine, gearbox, tank & rear axle) should also be dismantled; regular cleaning is recommended here, e.g. at the end of the winter half-year, and after every use in difficult terrain with e.g. mud, sand/gravel and water crossings. The use of polish, such as NevrDull, is recommended for the care of untreated aluminium components.
