We decided to ditch the steps that came with our 2018 Alpine. The factory steps were great in many ways. We liked the fact that they made contact with the ground and gave a very solid feel. But after a few years, we developed a love/hate relationship with the steps. The two main issues we had were the mess they make when you stow them, especially when the weather was bad, and the amount of interior space they take up when stowed. After a recent where we had to pack up in pouring rain with mud-covered steps, we'd had enough. We switched them out with GlowStep Revolution steps from Tork-Lift. This video shows how I did it.
