1970mcss Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I finally found a set of door edge guards for my car. I know the just slide on, but is there any tricks to protect the paint?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Coat the edge of the door where they are going to be placed with a little bit of Dawn Dish soap. Nice and slippery and will easily wash off. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970mcss Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Thanks Rob, that makes sense. I'll give that a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monteman1971 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 If you can't get them on by hand, a rubber mallet will work without damaging them. I'll say that it always makes me nervous getting those on but I do have them on my car and think they are a good idea. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970mcss Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 They were the last original option that was missing from my car. I got lucky and found a set on ebay. I thought about leaving them in the original package but I think the belong on the car. I remember when I worked at a dealership years ago we would put them on but if not carefully we could chip the paint. I will try to put them on this weekend.

DaveC Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I would dish soap the door and the guard just to be doubly safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
