    Are these normal? I'm interested in a Prius, and these are on both doors. They appear to be glued on. I wasn't sure what to search for, so I apologize if a thread was already created about this.

    I'd guess they are normal, my last 3 cars (a Kia and 2 Fords) had them.

    Mine were placed on doorway edges where stones could chip easily. They were still solid after nearly 5 years, and I suspect you'd damage the paint trying to remove them.

    Rock chip protectors. And yes, they are on all Prius.
