10 Best Scratch Protector For Door (2023 Updated)

I actually thought these would be hard plastic in lieu of a flexible material. You just about need three hands to install some pieces. Experiencing some separation because of low temperatures; 30’s and 40’s right now.

I had these on my 2013 F150 and they were great. I have tried these two times on my 2016 F150 and I can not get the front ones to stick on the front of the sticker. I even bought additional 3M adhesion promotor.

I thought maybe the first time I tried these that I did not clean them well enough.

Exactly as described, should last a long time if you follow the directions and take your time installing them. I used a piece of duct tape to keep it lined up on one end while peeling off the backing.

Also, use a heavy magic marker not a fine one.

These sill protectors are high quality and the fit is perfect. Couple words of wisdom, do a test fit before peeling the backing off. Also, after you throughly clean the surface make sure to use the 3M adhesion promotor just before you apply the sill protectors, it definitely helps it adhere better.

The adhesive is not of a very good quality, live in high temperature area and did not hold. Also the cut on the pieces is very poor considering it is supposed to be a cut to fit application product. Does not line up or fit properly.

Not a bad product by no means; but for what you get for what I paid; I was looking for something with a little better quality. It does fit as expected and protects the threshold step cover as stated

actually received complements by a passenger without me pointing them out. Look good, work well. Use care to apply.

Ended up using it on my 2017 Honda Pilot. Cut the front set a little shorter other than that it was a perfect fit even though it was for a Silverado. Good quality and seems durable.

Very easy to install. Seems a bit overpriced now that I see it is simply a form of grip tape. We will see how it holds up.

Overall I am satisfied with the Door Guard. It has stayed in place without any problems. I do think it could have been a bit longer. I find that depending on where the car gets parked in the garage I have to reposition the guard to insure it is in the proper position to protect the door.

Always had a problem in my garage with my wife’s two-door car door banging into my car and leaving a long row of dings. Well, after buying a new car I wasn’t about to let them happen again! I found this and thought, what the heck, I’ll try it.

It’s easy to place exactly where needed and, as long as the car is clean, it stays put, plus it comes off very easily! I bought some rare earth magnets, planning ahead, to epoxy onto the door guard in the eventuality the suction cups won’t work or hold.

So, bring it on!.

The suction cups dont really do the job of keeping the guard in place. If its too cold they def dont stick, I’ve had tried it 3 times and they fall off. Perhaps it will work better in the spring/summer! How about magnets instead of suction cups.

?.

Quality of the door guards are top notch. I spent alot of time searching for a product that would install and not cause damage to the windows or seals. I have not rolled down the windows with these on yet as it still makes me nervous, but these protect my leather sidewalls from my dog’s nails which is my primary concern.

Overall I am very satisfied.

Two things to be aware of. 1-If your dog likes to hang his head out the window, this is not for you. The guard flips up and out. There are velcro strips to secure it but we didn’t want those on our doors.

2-This is for a full-size back door. If you have a smaller car or, in our case, a pick-up truck, it won’t fit. You could probably fix with safety pins, but the point is moot if your dog likes to ride like the wind.

I purchased these door protectors specifically because they are advertised as coming with tabs that can slide in between the window and door to hold them on. When I received them, however, those tabs would not fit between the window and door of my 2015 Toyota 4Runner.

The only other option for installation is to put sticky Velcro on your actual door. Since I didn’t want to ruin the leather interior, I wasn’t able to use this product. The material itself seems like pretty decent quality, and I think if I were able to actually install these the way they are advertised they would have done a good job protecting the door.

I wish that somewhere in the description they listed that potentially not all cars are able to utilize the window tabs, and that some may need to use the Velcro. I’m not sure if my specific vehicle has a different type of window seal that happens to be blocking the tabs, or if the tabs are just bogus and wouldn’t work on any car.

As others have mentioned, i also had a problem with one of the strips not wanting to adhere. i contacted the seller and they sent me an entire new set. so major props for that. As for install, here are a couple of things I learned via trial and error.

The strips have some amount of memory. i. e. they want to straighten themselves if bent to adhere to a curved surface so make sure you do this on a warm day or at least in a warm garage/shop. Also, on my second set i placed the strips in their correct locations with the backing still attached and then pre-formed the strips.

Bingo!! Worked much better.

If the adhesive secured the strips, I would give this a glowing 5 stars. I followed the diections, carefully cleaning the rocker panel sill with windex and then liberally appying the activator. 5 of the 8 pieces will not stay secured on the edges.

I will use a better adhesive to ensure the strips stay down. Too bad. For the price, the strips could have been a nice deal.

When I first purchased this item I thought of being easy and cheap way to hide scratches on the sill plate. But after being on my truck for almost one month I’m going to have to remove them because they will not stay sticking complete waste of time and money as far as I’m concerned they look great when their first installed and do the job.

But they do not stick well enough.

I used to have those terrible, ugly, CHEAP, bulky plastic protectors on my old car. You’ll know the ones, you’ll see them all over eBay! They were honestly terrible, the reflective parts always fell off and I’d finally had enough of them.

I came across this and WOW! I have a 3 door Peugeot 108 and this is absolutely fantastic!!! Before cutting I decided I wanted to do the entire length of my doors as I thought it would look better than just having a tiny section and I managed to line both my doors and have some left! If I had a 5 door version I would have had to order two packs but for this price it’s hardly anything! They’ve been on for around 2 weeks now and they’ve survived several jet washes and downpours.

They’re staying on strong! They’re completely opaque, my car is bright red and you can’t see through them at all. They feel extremely thick and unlike the horrible plastic protectors, I don’t think these will actually damage another car! The only problem I had was the gap was very tight, so much so I couldn’t actually get them on my doors! It was nothing a quick blast with the hair dryer didn’t solve and once they cooled back and shrunk they’re gripped to my car like I don’t know what! Best money I’ve ever spent and I’ll be happy knowing my door edges are fully protected!.

Good quality. This product is ideal for vehicles that have a large clearance gap between the Front and Rear doors. and offers good protection. Very easy to cut and fit. But. Unfortunately this is not wholly the case for the Ford Focus Mk2, where the front and rear doors are quite close fitting.

With the edge guard in place on front and rear doors, the front door opens and closes without a problem, but the rear door leading (Hinge edge) edge snags on the edge guard of the of the front door when the rear door is opened.

unless the front door is opened first. Even shaving off some of the thickness of the guard material offers little improvement. In the main this product does a good job, and would normally merit the 5 stars.

Sadly not ideal for the Ford Focus Mk2. Or. You can just remember to hold open the front door before opening the rear door. Otherwise, the edge guard on the front door will eventually scrape paint off the rear door’s leading edge.

And that seems a bit ironic. for a door edge protector.

Applied to doors on new car to avoid the ‘chips’ that are so frustrating on door edge. I have young children opening the doors and this seems to do the trick. Besides protecting my car it saves other vehicles from being damaged in the supermarket! Only been on a week so can’t vouch for durability although it seems tough.

This will protect against paint chips to YOUR door edges but NOT another car because it is a thin, clear tape with no ‘padding’ to avoid denting another car’s side. It is invisible once applied. I actually added a 2nd (thicker, color-coordinated) door edge protector from another supplier OVER this tape, and the 3M tape helped adhere the 2nd edge protector better.

I installed this on our GMC Acadia two years ago and they still look as good as the day I put them on. Several videos on YouTube explain installation and I recommend watching at least one, but once you’ve seen it done they’re simple to install.

Make certain to prep the door edge with alcohol as recommended. They’re unbelievably inexpensive when you do it yourself. I’ll be installing them on our new Buick Cascada tomorrow.

They were installed one week ago and the cats haven’t even tried to scratch the furniture. And they are hardly noticeable. Trimmed them with regular scissors to fit perfectly (bought the large size).

Had to buy upholstery tacks where the plastic was attached over the wood frame in the furniture, as screw tacks included only work on fabric areas with no backing. So far the Clawguards are working as planned, and I would recommend them.

This is a piece of thick clear plastic with holes in the corners to fasten to a piece of upholstered furniture. Correction, TWO pieces of plastic. You can use it for wood if you tape it on. It did deter my cat.

It’s just that the price is outrageous. For this I’ll find a place that sells sheet plastic and make my own.

With declawing much less of an option than ever, we something different! The upholstery pins that come with this come out, and watch your kitty play with them! Yikes. In addition, they don’t mold to the furniture very well and if you put them on the arms of your chairs, the stuff crunches.

Would definitely avoid these.

So, I decided to use this trim because I wanted to cheap out and cut my own Jeep JK fenders flat. After I trimmed everything down, relocated the indicator, and orbital sanded everything smooth, it was time to use this molding.

Huge Tip: stretch each line tight, end to end, and either lay it in the sun for a day, or use a heat gun to straighten the line. This will make applying the molding way easier! Otherwise, the spool will want to fight against application 🙂 This stuff came out perfect! I added some JB Weld industrial, clear adhesive into the valleys of the trim for each fender flare.

These are going nowhere, and look amazing! Buys me space for my new 35″ tires, and until I can buy proper, aftermarket flares lol. Highly recommended.

These fit just right on my Hyundai Kona. Not too thick to prevent door closing, easy to install and look like they are original to the car. Just what I wanted.
