It is a short, flat, expensive sound, followed by a silence in which the driver calculates the cost of a paint repair. The U-profile guard exists to replace that sound with nothing at all: a rubber channel that clips over the trailing edge of the door, absorbs the contact and takes the scuff instead of the paintwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.85;color:#3a3a3a;margin:0 0 18px 0;\"\u003eThis is a five metre roll of U-section rubber with an internal steel spring, sized to grip a door edge of roughly half a centimetre and hold through car washes, sun exposure and the repeated slamming that a family vehicle absorbs. The rubber is EPDM-type compound rather than a cheap vinyl, which is the difference between a guard that stays soft for years and one that hardens, shrinks and falls off within a summer. The colour runs through the material, so a scuff shows as a scuff rather than as a bright white scar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.85;color:#3a3a3a;margin:0 0 18px 0;\"\u003eFive metres covers four doors with enough left to do the boot lid edge or the leading edge of a bonnet. Installation requires no tools beyond scissors and a clean surface: warm the rubber slightly so it takes the curve, press the channel over the edge, and work along the door in one continuous pass. The adhesive promoter pad is worth using at the corners, which is where these guards actually fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp

damage already there. Families with children use it because the rear door is the one that gets opened into a wall in a car park. Fleet and pool car managers run it along every door as cheap insurance against the repair charge that comes out of a driver's deposit. Delivery and trade vehicles use the spare length on the boot lid and the leading edge of the bonnet, which take the same kind of contact. Body shops fit it after a respray as a routine finishing step, because a freshly painted edge is the most expensive possible place to take a knock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-faq\" style=\"margin-top:32px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:19px;letter-spacing:.04em;text-transform:uppercase;margin:0 0 14px 0;color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003eQuestions Worth Asking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 5px 0;font-size:15px;font-weight:600;color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003eWill it fit my car door?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#4a4a4a;\"\u003eThe channel grips an edge of roughly 5mm thickness, which covers the door edge on the large majority of cars. Measure the edge thickness at the trailing corner before ordering; a door with a thick factory seal or a rolled edge may need a wider profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 5px 0;font-size:15px;font-weight:600;color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003eDoes it need adhesive?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#4a4a4a;\"\u003eNo. The internal spring holds the channel over the edge. Use the supplied promoter pad or a small amount of adhesive at the corners, which is the only place the guard tends to lift on a curved edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 5px 0;font-size:15px;font-weight:600;color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003eWill it damage the paint underneath?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#4a4a4a;\"\u003eThe rubber sits over the paint and does not abrade it in normal use.

Four door edges on a saloon typically consume around 4.2 to 4.6 metres, leaving enough for a boot lid edge. Measure each edge before cutting, and cut slightly long rather than short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 5px 0;font-size:15px;font-weight:600;color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003eDoes the colour fade in sunlight?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#4a4a4a;\"\u003eThe colour is through the material rather than applied to the surface, so it does not flake off.
