Where should car anti-collision stickers be placed on the car door?

Car anti-collision stickers should be installed on the edges of the car door where impacts are likely to occur, typically at the corners of the door and the front and rear bumpers. The installation method for car anti-collision stickers is as follows: Open the car, clean the protruding areas prone to impacts; then peel off the backing of the anti-collision sticker, align it with the desired position, press gently to ensure the adhesive fully bonds with the car surface; for anti-collision strips, apply them along the car's perimeter frame, trimming any excess if necessary. Car anti-collision stickers are made of rubber or natural rubber and serve as exterior car decorations that both protect the vehicle and enhance its appearance. The primary function of car anti-collision stickers is to protect the car body from scratches, especially on the door areas. Once scratched, the car paint can easily get damaged, leading to rust in the affected areas.
I've been driving a van for deliveries for over a decade now. The best place to stick anti-collision strips is on the outer edge of the large doors - that's typically the first point of contact when doors swing open and hit adjacent vehicles. Specifically, apply them at the corner of the door frame where they can effectively cushion impacts and prevent paint scratches. Always thoroughly clean the surface with a damp cloth before installation, otherwise the adhesive won't hold properly. Some people mistakenly stick them on door handles or inner surfaces, which is completely ineffective because those aren't impact points. I recommend using soft rubber strips - they're durable and won't damage paint. After application, gently press them down and let them set for 24 hours before using the vehicle. Avoid opening/closing doors hastily during this period to prevent peeling. These strips are particularly crucial in tight parking spaces. I've frequently seen drivers applying them incorrectly, leading to repeated collisions.
Since last year, I've been fascinated with DIY car repairs, and installing bumper guards in the garage is super easy. The ideal location is on the outer protruding part of the door, right where it might hit obstacles, usually at the edge of the door's midsection. Before applying, clean the surface with alcohol to remove grease, then press it lightly into place. If there are small bubbles, just smooth them out with a hard card. I prefer using colorful or unique designs to add a bit of fun. Precise placement is key—if it's crooked, you can peel it off and reapply without leaving marks. This helps reduce complaints from neighbors in tight parking spots. Make sure the bumper guard isn't too thick, or it might affect the door's opening angle. After a few tries, I've settled on that spot as the best position.
