How to Prevent Door Dings in Parking Lots
Most door dings happen in tight lots from neighboring doors and runaway carts. Park at the far end, use edge guards on exposed lips, and you cut ding risk sharply without a bulky guard.
Park defensively
Choose end spots and leave a full door gap; the far row is emptier and safer.
Guard the exposed edge
Edge guards absorb the lip contact that becomes a dent; pair with awareness of wind-blown carts.
