    Door protector?

    Anyone know where I can get a piece of plastic (?) that would fit on the door along the edge (where it closes to join the body) to help prevent dings when opening the door and it hitting some other object? Not the outer facing surface of the door (like a bra protects the hood) but the seam. Not that anyone would ever be stupid enough to do that but just in case they were.
    Thanks.

    Re: Door protector?

    They're called "door edge guards", they've been available as an aftermarket accessory practically since the car was invented, was actually optional-equipment on most American cars in the 60's and 70's. You can most likely find them at www.jcwhitney.com

    Here's the problem..

    1. They look cheesy
    2. They may (depending on design/materials) leave marks on your paint underneath where you mount them, from installation, and then subsequent jostling and being bumped occassionally, and lastly
    3. Are you wanting these to save your passenger-door from careless and thoughtless passenger negligence, or are you saving your doors from yourself??

    I'm not really understanding why a careful owner would need such a thing.

    You could contact a dealer who does the clear bra and have them make you a door protector. I would think that couldn't cost too much

    You can have a shop that does 3M body armour do the door edges. Best way to protect this area but it's a preventable thing so I wouldn't. If it's a garage issue just get one of those bumpers that attaches to the wall, I have one just for piece of mind.
