I don't have but for some they do serve a purpose. If small kids or live in a snow area consider them. With snow passengers love to bang their shoes on lower vehicle sides to remove snow that really messes up plastic side skirts.

Also, helps to clean roof during washing.

Forgot another important one. Also good for elderly people if you transport any. Without them I have to push and lift my elderly mother up into my GLE.

Thats actually a good point. Mine came with them and I probably wouldn’t have ordered it with as the black plastic to me is a bit of an eyesore and doesn’t blend well with my Obsidian Black paint. But you’re absolutely right about the elderly folks and I hadn’t considered that at all even though we’ve had my wife’s grandma in the car several times.
