Today we're going to be taking a look at Westin's Replacement Step Pads. These are going to be a direct replacement for your old worn out pads on your Westin tube steps. The pads come in varying shapes and sizes, so you'll want to use our website to determine the appropriate pad for your step. The pads are sold individually so you can replace just one, whichever is broken, or go ahead and replace all of them on your tube step. They're made of the same durable UV-resistant polymer plastic as your originals were. And while our old ones crunched and cracked below our feet, our new ones work great.This vehicle here is nine years old, so the tube steps on it are likely eight years and 11 months old.
But, as you can see, there's really nothing wrong with our tube step. Just with the pad that's on top of it here. It's all cracked and coming apart. You can just kind of flake it off like that. Well, with an easy, quick pushpin replacement, we could have brand new looking tube steps making our '09 looks like a '19.To remove your old step head, you're going to need a few things.
You're going to need a prying tool. We're going to be using a flat bladed screwdriver, a rubber mallet or soft face mallet, and having a pair of needle nose pliers can come in handy for a few tricky spots.So we'll start by prying or old step off, which if yours is anything like ours, it comes off pretty easy. But there are still barrel clips inside of our tube step that we need to remove. There's a couple of ways to remove the barrel clips. It's going to depend on your particular tube steps.
Ours here do not go all the way around, being completely enclosed. There's an opening at the bottom so we can just knock ours straight down and they'll fall out to the ground. If yours is completely enclosed, you want to have these needle nose here to pull them out.Before we can replace these, we'll need to crush them so we can get them out. And we'll just continue that all the way down the rest of them. Now, if yours was completely enclosed where you can't just drive them out like we did, you can pull them out the top.
You are still going to need your screwdriver and mallet to crush them, pushing in all the pins inward by crushing it, and then pull it out with your needle nose pliers.We've gone ahead and finished removing this pad, and our back pad also needed to be replaced. We removed it as well. Before we install our new pads, it's a good idea to get all the dirt and debris cleaned off of your step there. We've got some Speed Shine from Griot's here. We're going to just clean it all up till it looks new again. Glass cleaner will work fine for chrome steps like this, but you can pick up some Speed Shine here, which is great for all surfaces, including your vehicle, right here at etrailer.com.Now we're all clean. We're ready to install our new pad. We'll start by placing the new barrel nuts that come in your kit down in the holes. So you just want to get that started and use your rubber mallet to just tap it in place. We'll repeat that for all the remaining holes. And a little tip, if you have them offset like when you here, the ones that are closer to the door can be easier to install if you actually open that door there, giving you a little more room to get your swing straight down on the nut.We'll now take our new step, and you want to line up all the pegs on the bottom of your step with your barrel nuts. Now you can't just press them in there. We're going to actually tap it in there with our mallet, but we need to make sure that they're all lined up before we begin doing that so we don't break any of them off.Once you've got them all lined up, you'll take your rubber mallet, and you just want to tap it down. Double checking if you're having anything that's not quite going all the way to make sure it's still lined up. And there you have it. With this side looking like new, we can go ahead and repeat the same process on the other side. And that completes our look at Westin's Replacement Step Pads.

Replace the end step pad on your Westin Platinum Series 4" wide oval wheel-to-wheel step bar with this 24-1/2" long x 4" wide, non-slip polymer plastic pad. The UV-resistant material will not crack or fade. Barrel clips are included.Exactly what I needed. My drivers door stepbar pad had worn out much faster than the other 3, so it was nice to be able to order just the one replacement pad. Great price, cheaper than Amazon or the manufacturer directly. Good packaging, arrived with no damage in about 2 or 3 days. Installed easily, the replacement clips were included. I would recommend Etrailer to others and will shop with them again.
These fit perfect on my extra long Westin platinum oval steps. The pads on the front driver and passenger sides disintegrated after 8 years and these are perfect replacements. 4 stars because one step had 6 clips and the other only had 5. I presume that is a Westin issue, not etrailer's. etrailer was fast and the pads were well packed.
Needed to replace step pads that dry rotted (after 8 yrs). etrailer had the pads that match installed pads. Shipped earlier that promised and good follow up.
the screener was very knowledgable of the product and appropriate numbers for the order. I received the product in a well packaged delivery and in a timely manner. Would recommended shopping at etrailer for everyone thatwant reliable info and correct parts.
This product was used to replade Luverne step pads. It fit just right in the same holes as the Luverne step pad that had worn out.
Fit like a glove on my step bar. I appreciate the service I get every time I order something!
Was worried I'd have to buy a complete new set of steps when pad broke off, found this, went on in less than 1 minute, nice to know there are still products that can be rebuilt.
the part was okay but it does not line up with the wholes you have to make new wholes for it which was disappointed because i wanted to put it right on now i have to let the mechanic do the job which will cost me more money
Pad for my step bar was an exact fit at a fair price.
Nice product. Using it as a replacement. Holes lined up perfectly.
These were a perfect fit and were easy to install. Shipping was fast. Great product, great vendor!
After a year of use, they still look brand new and have held up great!
Received item very quickly and was easy to install.
worked great
Worked great !!! Comes with 4 clips per pad. My truck had 6 clips per pad. Suggest checking number of clips needed before ordering.
good price and quality of product

I got your review on the Westin step pads part # 24-50024. These step pads are designed specifically to fit Westin Platinum Series Wheel-2-Wheel 4 wide oval step bars. Please let me know if that is what you have. If you have another Westin nerf bar, I am happy to help you find the correct step pad.
