Any1 ever use this? Do they work? I already got chip in the door possibly from someone dinging my door from a private parking lot. I'm thinking of trying these to protect the car from dinging.

well, if you want your car too lokk really bad, you can get that, i don't know which is worse though, the magnetic thing or deep dings in your door. i guess it would be an awesome idea for me to keep in my car, whenever i park at school, my car gets dinged. i don't think it will help too much with dents though

 

put it on when you park, take it off when you leave!

 

wonder how well it works? if it works well enough i'd sacrifice looks for the lessening of dings

 

I'm only gonna put it on when I park and take it off when I leave. If this thing prevents both ding and dent then it's excellent, otherwise I'm still happy if this prevents dings. I guess $30 is worth a try consider it cost $50 to fix a ding/dent

 

i wish it was only $50 to fix a ding, most places charge about $100 for each golfball size ding, if they can get to it

 

Just to let u all know that I just got two of these protector and they worked great. I'm gonna get another two to cover both doors on both sides. Gave me piece of mind since I parked between two cars every day

 

What stops someone from stealing it?

 

yea i know... any1 can take it.... you gona buy new one?...lol watch some1 takes it and dings your door ... HAHAHA.. or take if off and ding it and put it back on.. .

 

nothing stops them from taking it. So you pretty much spend your money for nothing!

 

I was thinking the same thing lol. Someone's just gonna rip it off. I have a second car I drive if I'm going to the mall etc. just because I don't want anyone dinging-up the Scion.

 

I want to carry four of those inflatable mattresses for camping in my trunk.

Blow 'em up, stand them around your car, and you're pretty safe from dings...

 

yea, and if that doesnt work, you can still use the matresses and have your passengers sleep on them and guard your car while you get your ____ done

 

 

I just park away from everything... only one door ding so far...

 

Another thing about magnetic, it attracts metal shavings and particles, even if the magnet was covered in something such as a felt or something that wouldnt scratch the paint, the particles that it picks up everytime you take it on and off wil eventualy turn that strip into a giant piece of sandpaper.

and since you cant usualy take magnets off straight you usualy slide then at least a bit, youll be sanding you car every time you use them.

 

You'd need 4 of them...

 

The magnets on that thing is actually very soft!! Almost like an eraser! I bought them.. cuz i was sick of ppl continuing to ding my car! itz like $75 per ding to fix!!

Had it for 3-4 months!! It LOOKS LIKE ____ when its on the car so most ppl don't even know WTF it is! So far none has been stolen yet.. and i use it almost every other day!

Works really well.. and No worries about scratches! as long as you keep the area where the rubber magnet sticks waxed!!

 

I was thinking of using bubble wrap. simply wrap my car each time but then I realized I would have every little kid at my car popping the bubbles.

So I'm thinking of getting boat bumpers and hanging them out my windows by a string so they protect the doors each time.

 

maybe you should hook a tazer into your cars ground, and set it to a proximity sensor, so that anytime someone goes near or touches your car, they got shocked the crap out of them ,
