What is the installation method for door anti-collision strips?
2 Answers
The installation method for door anti-collision strips is: 1. Open the door and locate the protruding areas prone to collisions; 2. Rinse the car with water and dry the area where the anti-collision strip will be attached with a towel; 3. Slowly peel off the backing adhesive; 4. Align the strip and press gently to ensure full adhesion to the car surface; 5. Avoid washing the car within 48 hours after installation to prevent the adhesive from losing its bonding strength due to water exposure. Anti-collision strips are made of rubber or natural rubber materials and serve as car body accessories, typically installed on door edges and the corners of front and rear bumpers. Also known as protective strips, anti-scratch strips, fender rubber strips, or bumper guards, their functions include: 1. Enhancing the car's lines and dynamic appearance, resistant to fading, thus serving a decorative purpose; 2. Protecting the car's sides from damage caused by foreign objects or impacts; 3. Reducing the risk of car door collisions, offering a certain degree of elasticity.
Installing door edge guards is actually quite simple, and I often do it myself. First, clean the door edges thoroughly, preferably using alcohol wipes to completely remove grease and dirt, otherwise the adhesive won't stick well. Then peel off the protective film from the back of the edge guard and slowly apply it to the most vulnerable areas of the door, usually along the protruding ridge line. When applying, press firmly for about half a minute to ensure full adhesion, especially at the ends and corners. After installation, avoid washing the car or exposing it to rain immediately - wait 24 hours for the adhesive to fully cure. Also be careful not to apply it in wrong positions, as some cars' charging ports or door handle areas may be affected. Last time I helped my neighbor install them, I even checked the weather - when temperatures were too low making the adhesive less sticky, I used a hair dryer to warm it up before applying for better results.
