The door anti-collision strip is installed at the corners of the door and the front and rear bumpers. The method for installing the door anti-collision strip is as follows: 1. Wipe the installation area clean with a towel; 2. Peel off a small part of the adhesive strip; 3. Attach the adhesive side to the desired installation position; 4. Press the anti-collision strip along the direction while peeling off the remaining double-sided tape; 5. Trim off any excess. The door anti-collision strip is made of rubber or natural rubber, and its functions are: 1. Adding lines and dynamism to the vehicle body; 2. Preventing minor collisions and scratches from damaging the car paint. The method for repairing a cracked door anti-collision strip is: Use a hair dryer to heat the double-sided tape, then press firmly to reattach it.
I've noticed many car owners are concerned about where to install door edge guards. Essentially, they should be installed on the outermost vertical edge of the door - precisely where your door is most likely to hit walls or other vehicles when opening. Specifically, apply them vertically along the door seam at the lower part of the door or near the handle area. This design directly absorbs impacts, preventing scratches to your door's paint. When positioning, carefully measure and align with the edge to avoid misplacement, as improper installation reduces effectiveness. I typically recommend using high-elasticity rubber material for its softness and deformation properties that won't damage the car. Installation is extremely simple - just clean the surface and apply the self-adhesive strip (avoid installation on wet or oily surfaces). These guards are particularly useful in parking lots, saving you repair costs for scratches while protecting other vehicles too. Regularly check for aging of the guards and replace them promptly to maintain continuous protection.
