How to Install a Car Door Edge Guard (Step by Step)

You can fit a door edge guard in the time it takes to drink coffee. No tools, no drilling, no residue. Follow these steps for a clean, lasting result.

Step 1 - Clean

Wipe the door edge with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry. Any dirt prevents the adhesive from biting.

Step 2 - Measure & Trim

Hold the strip along the edge, mark the length, and cut slightly long. You can trim the excess after fitting.

Step 3 - Apply

Peel a little backing, press the start point, then work along the edge pressing firmly. Use a soft cloth to burnish.

Step 4 - Cure

Leave the doors open or parked for an hour. Avoid car wash for 24 hours so the bond sets.
