Protection cover/plate
Explanation:
It seems to be a term mainly used in some Latin American countries with the meaning of “protection cover/plate” used basically for the protection of fuse boxes (armarios de distribución), but probably not only with that purpose.

Peruvian reference explaining the meaning:

Okay, your additional note, that came too late, makes it clear that it is not what I had suggested.

countertop rim/edge


Explanation:
This is a really hard one. Nearly all definitions of mandil refer to a sort of apron, but I found a few websites that refer it as a part of the kitchen sink, and from what I've been able to gather it's the edge of the sink that has to be put in so that the water doesn't spill into the furniture.

The ONLY video I've been able to find of someone installing one of these things is from TikTok, so I apologize in advance for that.

Example sentence(s):
  • Definición Vidriado localizado en la zona más próxima a la boca

Explanation:
Asker tells us it's AKA 'faldón', so, although the context is different:

and

They fit exactly into the front apron and enhance the appearance of the vehicle.

Se adaptan de forma exacta al faldón delantero y mejoran ópticamente el vehículo.
