Running Boards
Just picked up my RDX A-Spec and having body side molding and splash guards installed tomorrow.
Anybody have the running boards? Where did you get them..and pics would be helpful. |
Got oem ones from the dealership. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...cf0cc352e.jpeg |
How much installed?
also..the body side moldings are black? Having Modern Steel matching installed on mine. |
sorry - I guess those aren't the body side moldings. My mistake
|
It was installed for free with the purchase of the running boards from the dealership. Not sure about yours has to offer, but ask them to install . |
Do you think the running boards protects someone from opening their car door into your car door at all? Do I need both the boards and the body side molding?

Running boards are for other purpose.. You will need body side molding to prevent dings.

I just got my new 2019 RDX A-Spec last month with dealer installed running boards. Those running boards look real sharp with the fathom blue pearl color. But those running boards dig into my calf when I get out of my car. Also when it rains, the running boards rubs against my pants and stains them. These running boards became such an irritant that I asked the dealer to have them removed. They charged me an hour of service to have them removed. I was so angry that I just left my running boards at the dealership and told them to give them to anyone who wants them. I call Acura Client Relations about my complaint. They noted they have not had this complaint from any owners and will not reimburse me for this problem. I wonder if any other owners have this same problem with their running boards?

yes, this is not an Acura specific problem, my MB dealer told me exactly the same thing.

I was actually thinking of installing the running board, because when it snows, a lot of it gets stuck between the door and the bottom of the door sills as you drive through the snow. I figure with the running board, it would prevent that from happening.
|
Not sure what you are referring to but I assume you have seen other SUV with running boards that solves the problem?
Either way I think the year round cons out weights the few snow days (atleast in my area) They do look nice tho. |
If your legs aren't long enough to reach the ground without dirtying your pants, step onto the running board first, then step down. That's what they're for.
I had side steps on my Honda Pilot. I never used them. But side steps look much cooler. Running boards are kinda farty, even the newer ones. They also tend to trap snow and road grit. I'll pass. |
