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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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

SEIKEL Protective Elements – Protection Plates, Rock Sliders, and Rocker Panel Protection are made from high-quality, untreated aluminum. While surface finishes such as powder coating, painting, or anodizing are possible, we advise against them, as past experience has shown them to be neither durable nor long-lasting.

To ensure the functionality and appearance over a long period, regular maintenance is very important. Although aluminum is relatively low-maintenance, it is constantly exposed to environmental factors such as road dirt, stone impacts, and road salt during winter. These factors can lead to deposits that need to be removed. Below are some tips on how to properly care for aluminum components:

1. Regular Cleaning
To keep the protective elements in good condition, they should be cleaned regularly with water and a mild detergent. Use a high-pressure washer or a brush to reach difficult areas. Avoid using aggressive or acidic cleaning agents, as these can damage the aluminum.

2. Protection Against Corrosion
While aluminum does not rust, it can oxidize under certain conditions, leading to an unattractive patina. This oxidation does not affect the functionality of the protective elements. Oxidized aluminum parts can be treated with special aluminum cleaners or polishes to restore their material’s shine.

Based on our many years of experience, we recommend using the product “NEVR-DULL®” for maintaining untreated aluminum components. This universal high-gloss polishing wadding is suitable for all types of metals.

3. Inspect for Damage
During regular cleaning, check all aluminum protective elements for any signs of damage. A thorough inspection is advisable, especially after impacts from below.

Conclusion
Through regular cleaning, inspection, and maintenance, SEIKEL aluminum protective elements can preserve their functionality and appearance over a long period.
