Door edge protection

[chief2020]

What are you folks using to protect the edges of the doors from getting chipped and dented. My wife isn't that careful ask me how I know! I see stuff listed on Amazon for $10 bucks that is black. May be just fine but I have never used this stuff before. Thanks.

I used to use the black rubber stuff but now I use this.

So much nicer and inconspicuous.

How thick is that vinyl? On an older vehicle I had a local shop apply clear vinyl door edge protection while it was in their shop getting other graphics applied. It was no thinking than regular vinyl and I still ended up with paint chips on the door edge

The WHY the doors on my 2000 7.3 are still nice.
She proudly tells people I still open the door for her.
The little voices in my head LOL at that.

Just make sure your wife never parks next to me LOL. I would get the Xpel stuff as it's almost invisible.

It's 8mil thick. I've used that same roll on many vehicles and no chips on the door edges - but they are all opened carefully.

My kids fear the wrath of dad if they chip his truck!
