FAQs
What is the length of the door edge guard?
The STREETWIZE Car Door Edge Guard comes in a total length of 2 meters.
Can this guard be used on any vehicle?
Yes, it is designed for a universal fit and can be trimmed to suit most cars, SUVs, and vans.
How do I install the guard?
Clean the vehicle edge, measure, trim the guard to size, peel off the backing, and press firmly onto the edge.
Is the guard permanent?
While designed for a secure fit, it can be removed. It's recommended to do so carefully and potentially use a mild adhesive remover if needed.
What should I do if the guard doesn't stick well?
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried. Applying gentle heat can sometimes improve adhesion on curved surfaces.
How do I clean the door edge guard?
Wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Will this protect against major impacts?
This guard is designed for minor scuffs and scratches. It will not provide protection against significant impacts or collisions.
Troubleshooting
Guard is not adhering properly
Ensure the vehicle's edge is perfectly clean and dry before application. Re-apply gentle heat with a hairdryer on a low setting to soften the adhesive, then press firmly for an extended period.
Guard detaches after installation
The surface may not have been adequately prepared, or the guard was applied to a severely curved or dirty edge. Clean the area again, trim the guard if necessary, and re-apply with firm, sustained pressure.
Difficulty cutting the guard to size
Use a sharp craft knife or heavy-duty scissors. For a cleaner cut, you can warm the guard slightly with a hairdryer on a low setting before cutting.
