Default Door edge protector?

Truck is a tight fit in the garage. Anyone have any recommendations on any door edge protectors? Kids let the doors hit the wall causing drywall marks on them which drives me crazy.

I bought thick foam pads from Amazon that have a sticky back and put them on the wall of the garage. Now if any door does swing a little too far it lands against a soft medium density foam instead of the drywall itself. Works great.

I remember my parents always making us get out of the car before they pulled into the garage. Maybe this would be easiest.

One of the first things I do with a new vehicle is put door edge protectors on...because whether it's in the garage or parked next to another vehicle or getting fuel, etc...there WILL come a time when the door edge WILL contact something and get chipped without them.

I got these for the wife’s truck. A bit more robust than some others I’ve used. Instead of glue they’re tapped on with a rubber mallet.

Do you have a brand name and size information the the door edge guards? I’m going to get some for my F150.
