Review on LY8 Car Door Edge Guards No Glue - Black, 16.4 Feet (5 Meters) - Universal Fit Rubber U-Shape Car Door Edge Trim - Car Door Protectors Edge Guards for Cars (Black 5M) by George Mendoza

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy to install and offers adequate protection but struggles with tight turns.

This product is supplied as a roll of U-strips in a fairly small package. The instructions were the usual Google translated version, but for the most part they were easy enough to understand, if mostly unnecessary. At first I was very confused by the "steel band" but after cutting the first piece the inner steel band became visible and the instructions became clearer. Installation was very easy - I pinned everything in one punch and trimmed with a pair of wire cutters. The rubber is quite thick for its size and with steel interiors I have real confidence in this product's ability to protect the door. My only complaint - and where it's lost a star - is its sheer disregard for tight corners. I have a Jeep Gladiator and the rear doors have a pretty sharp curve (pictured). Because of this, the fairing sticks out a bit. It doesn't matter much in normal use, but it does serve as a place to collect water, which can be a problem if I venture out into wetter climates. Luckily I live in a fairly dry part of the country so that doesn't bother me at the moment but it's worth mentioning. Overall I would say this is a good utility product. Not necessarily something I'd put on a small car, or something that's otherwise "slick" but fits my truck's profile well.

Pros
  • Covers for car edges without glue. Easily conforms to the contours of your doors. Before installation, it is recommended to measure the length of your doors and then trim the edges with scissors. Can be installed in 15 minutes, much easier by tapping lightly with a rubber mallet (scissors and hammer not included).
Cons
  • Long delivery time
