Default Door guards

Hey gang
I have to park in a really small lot at work and my truck keeps getting tapped in the doors by folks who can't seem to be courteous of my vehicle. Plus the fact that the spots are barely big enough for a midsize car doesn't help
Any good solutions out there beside being a jerk and taking up 2 spots

Thanks

Years ago my mom had the same problem at work. My dad took one of those big foam pool noodles; cut it in half, cut out holes about 1/4" deep of the flat/cut side, and silicone magnets into the holes and also put a thin coat of silicone on the side of the magnet that attached it to the car. When she went to work she would just stick them on the side of the car, and pull them off when she left. Worked good and didn't scratch the car.

What about the rubber that just snaps along the edge of the door? I had two from the dealership one fell off lol. There pretty inconspicuous, those options are quite obvious and need to be put on each time you park

He's not worried about himself; he's worried about other people. Him having door edge guards is not going to stop other people, without them, dinging his doors.

You can get color matched mouldings, do a search there are a few threads on here somewhere.
