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 Joseph Mathis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better and cheaper than the dealer installation for dent protection.

As a car enthusiast, I don't like the idea of people getting dents in their cars because other people open the door wide and leave a dent or scratch on your door or body. I'm always very careful when opening my doors, but the rest of my family isn't as careful and knowledgeable as I am. So I like to put these door guards on all my car doors to protect others when my family or other people in the car are not careful. They are very easy to install (less than 5 minutes per door even if you are very careful) and they fit perfectly and hold in place perfectly. Black looks good with most colored cars, especially my black and gray cars that I've used them on. There is enough material in the kit (just over 16 feet) to cover 4 doors on most cars - I had about 4 feet. Remaining after use on 4 doors. The current price of around $11 is excellent value compared to a dealer install. If you do it yourself, you can do a better job and get exactly what you need for a lot less money. A tip is that there may be a small amount of silver metal after the strip is trimmed. If it is, pry it out with a screwdriver, pliers, pickaxe, or whatever (it's only about 1/16th wide so it's easily removed). ). ). Make sure this metal doesn't end up on the driveway or garage floor as you don't want to drive over it and hit the tire as it could cause a leak. Usually you can just press the strip firmly and then push in firmly to ensure it fully engages and smooths the edges of the door. They recommend tapping it gently with a hammer, which I did just in case, but I'm pretty sure the hammer didn't hook it any further than I did by just pressing firmly with my hand. I wish more people would install this as parking dings are pretty common and it will really help protect against them. RECOMMENDED.

Pros
  • Our U-shaped edge protector, just press the rubber seal on the edge of the car door, and it can hold it tightly, fully fit, won't fall out, and improve noise reduction. Note. After cutting, the steel parts of the first end must be pulled out to avoid scratching the body.
