Car covers scratch paint, especially black. However, way better idea than that gizmo thing....

I decided to go for the full protection route. I got a long sheet of 30ml magnetic silver sheeting to match the car color, and cut 4 pieces to completely cover the doors.

It works great! I keep them under my rear cargo liner and use them when i have to park in questionable places.

The stuff is thick enough to sustain any door bang, and adheres and comes off - well - like a magnet....

those interested -- i got it here...

Unfortunately, of all the colors, the Silver and Black sheets are the only ones that match perfectly to the cars color. Also, one roll barely does 4 doors -- you have to be careful when measuring it out not to run short.

My dad thought i was crazy, then he ordered a roll for his Silver FourRunner.

Just offering another option that's less permanent.<ul><li><a href="http://www.beacongraphics.com/magnetic-sheeting.html">Beacon Graphics</a></li></ul>
