    Door protection strips

    Have a small car park type ding, just below the passneger door lower crease, which could be removed with Paintless Dent Rapair. But, as an alternative, am considering putting on some Gloos Black side protection strips, which are a copy of the official LR ones. I understand the surface woould need to be spotless for the 3M tape to secure properly.

    Just curious if anyone else has put any on ? My theory is that these are less expensive than a repair, but will also give a little protection from a similar dent appearing in the future.

    Has almost exactly the same issue. Put on some copy protection strips.

    Not bad, but the don’t hold on quite as well as the original OEM ones.

    For the price… I am happy with them.

    Yeah, I fitted a set of 3rd party ones from PowerfulUK a year or so ago, they look OK and seem to do the job...not that we've got any shopping car parks to negotiate up here. Laughing

    Thumbs Up

    So it looks like the top of the protectors go up to the horizantal crease in the door ? The little ding is just below that, so should cover it OK.

    Cheers

    The ones from PowerfulUK (Linky) came with alcohol wipes in the kit to clean off the fixing area...and the 3M tape on them has been top notch. Mine have been stuck solid for over a year through general farm life to pressure washing and being driven along flooded farm roads or off-road etc.

    There's no template guide with the protector strips outside of rough measurements printed on the instruction sheet...but it's fairly straight forward fixing them level by eye using a couple of strips of masking tape and the door crease as an alignment guide... Thumbs Up
