Best automotive door entry guards according to redditors

This is my worst nightmare. I hate people who have no respect for other's property. No excuse to ever ding another car. If you can show that all the marks are the same level and color, you have a good case. If you can catch her in the act, you have a great case.

Once you get it on camera that she keeps dinging you, talk to her and offer her the chance to pay to fix the damages.

Depending on the location and size of ding, it may be able to be PDRd (paintless dent removed). If the paint is chipped, the panel will have to be repainted.
You're looking at a $400+ repair job from a single door ding if it goes through the paint.

If she refuses to fix it, call your insurance company and send them the video proving her opening her door into your car. Let them handle it from then on.

You will have to pay for your deductible if you choose to go through your insurance first. They may give you an option of waiting on repairs until the other party is found 100% at fault and their insurance starts cooperating.

Best of luck. I always try to park as far away from other cars as possible.
Invest in something like this since you live next to inconsiderate assholes.

I got 5m of door guard off Amazon and it was enough for 4 doors and then a good bit of the hatchback. Installed easily with a rubber mallet. Love it.

Hope that works! It’s amazon.ca so I hope you can get it shipped wherever you are!

I got a front license plate mount that came with the car (it sticks on with adhesive I think). You may not need to buy another one.

​

How about some vinyl stickers for the door handles to keep fingerprints at bay? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NKF6845

Or a door sill protector: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F27XFB7

Or maybe some stickers to let your passengers know which button opens the door...

Or even a first aid kit. :)

Tesla Model 3 Door Sill Protector - Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F27XFB7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_zHB3DbRDSN7X3

I just ordered this from Amazon, haven't installed it yet. Tesla Model 3 Door Sill Clear... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F27XFB7

I would recommend these too. It’s one of the first things I put in my JK years ago, and it has saved my paint on my door sill. If you look around you may find some that say JEEP on it. Maybe through eBay? It’s just plastic held on with 3M tape, but I think it looks nice and is quite practical.

Enjoy you new toy, and your empty wallet!

I think you mean 2019 CR-V? I don't think the 2020 is out yet.

I posted a list here but i'll refresh it a bit for you.

• Screen Guard rating: Excellent - less than $10
  
  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CVYHZV9/
  
  The flat screen display is so big and flat and shiny I thought a screen protector was a very good idea. I'm afraid that over time dust and grit and cleaning will leave visible scratches on that big screen. I just randomly picked a flat glass cover for < $10 on amazon. Fits perfectly, can't really tell it is on. It is a bit polarized so if you have sunglasses on it makes the screen a little harder to read, but not unreadable.
  
  
• OEM Splash Guards rating: Pretty Good - About $70
  
  I think the default wheel wells look kind of plain so I added on the OEM ones. They are a little small if you are looking for real splash guards but cosmetically I think they look nice. They give the CR-V a bit more of a truck look. Super easy to self install, you just put three screws in on each wheel well.
  
  
• OEM Body Side Moldings rating: Excellent - About $155
  
  These are just color-matched plastic strips you stick on the side of the car. I like the finished look, and it definitely upscales the overall look of the car. Super easy to self-install. It comes with a cardboard template for each section that you tape onto the car, then you just peel off the self-stick adhesive and stick on the panel.
  
  
• OEM Cargo Tray rating: Excellent - About $80
  
  I had this on my last CR-V and I think it's a no-brainer to cover up the carpet in the back. Perfect fit, the plastic seems like it will last a while.
  
  
• OEM Cargo Organizer rating: Good - About $55
  
  This is just a soft-sided box with dividers that straps and clips into the retaining clips in the back. I do find it nice for tossing in groceries and other things that would otherwise roll around. It feels kind of cheap though and I think for the price there's probably some better third party product out there. That said it is stable and fits well, and you can unclip it and fold it flat quickly if you don't need it.
  
  
• Roll-up sunshade (third party) rating: Excellent - About $23
  
  Find it on this page: https://www.handa-accessories.com/crv17.html
  
  This is just a nice fitted sunshade from Handa Accessories. It's got a cut-out for the sensor camera and fits perfectly. Must have in hot climates if you don't want to burn your hands after leaving the car in the sun.
  
  
• OEM All Season Mats Blue Logo rating: meh - About $122
  
  These are thick rubber and they fit well, but the rubber is very slippery so my feet move around, and I don't love the look, especially with my Beige leather interior. In retrospect I think I would have gone for weathertech or some other third party mats in a different color and texture. I ended up throwing these out and I'm still on the carpet ones.
  
  
• OEM Rear Panel Protectors rating: Excellent - About $66
  
  I think the rear panel protectors are a good purchase in order to keep the back of the car nice and tidy. It's a good look and prevents scratches when getting stuff in and out.
  
  
• Third party Door Scuff Plates rating: Excellent - About $28
  
  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BSQDQH5/
  
  You have these on your touring doors but I wanted something similar for my EX-L. Not backlit but looks like factory.
  
  
• Third party Bumper Protector rating: Excellent - About $63
  
  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079P88CPT/
  
  Nice protector for the bumper. Happens to have a similar hexagon pattern to the scuff plates above, so looks good together.
  
  
• Third party cupholder and console liners rating: Excellent - About $15
  
  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078MRYNXQ/
  
  These are great! Covers for every single surface inside the car. I got black but there are other color options.
  
  
  I used Handa Accessories for the OEM stuff. I used them with my last CR-V as well and I haven't had any issues. (other than the issue above with the missing panel protector, which they fixed very quickly.) There is also Majestic https://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com . Either Handa or Majestic will be much much cheaper than your local dealer.

I know they work because everytime i get lazy, thinking, "oh i parked all the way in the back theres plenty of parking for these A holes.." I come back to a nice new ding from some dipshit that couldnt resist parking next to me with their junkyard on wheels.

Maybe like car door edge guards? The stuff has adhesive in the groove so it sticks to car doors.

http://www.amazon.com/Clear-Guard-Molding-Models-D-I-Y/dp/B005HF2E2K

Amazon calls them "Door Edge Guards".

https://www.amazon.com/Clear-Guard-Molding-Models-D-I-Y/dp/B005HF2E2K

Little tip that works well. Go to a auto parts store and buy door edge guard. They have different colors but this is an example.

https://www.amazon.com/Clear-Guard-Molding-Models-D-I-Y/dp/B005HF2E2K

It'll wrap right around the sharp edge that is cut and you dont have to worry about it again. If its sharp turns and it wont stay, a little drop of super glue will hold it anywhere you need.

You say you want to fill in that gap with possibly metal. Try chrome door edge trim for a car. It's a plastic/rubber and bends easily. Run a bead of glue in the channel and squeeze it in. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AH0O8TG/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_7Id7wbKY6HFGZ

MATCC 4M U Shape Edge Trim Rubber Seal Protector Guard Strip For Cars Metal Edges Boat https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BWKCUAO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_oM9JC9FNKam91

I bought the following for my new '18 EX (bought last week for 28,800 OTD).

Accessories:

Yes:

1. Cargo liner - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072K625NB/
   Fit perfectly. Recommended.
   
   
2. Cup and door liners - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078MMWDGW/ Comes in a cheap looking plastic bag, but I'll be darned if everything didn't fit.
   
   No:
   
   
3. Edge guard - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BWKCUAO/
   Didn't work. The reinforced door edges makes it wider than what the edge guard can fit, so it can't grip properly. :P
   
   
4. Center Arm Rest cover - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074L2NL9K/
   Not a good fit, and the elastic is annoying. Definitely needs a "lip" that covers the edges in the front and the back. It doesn't move around and was cheap, but I wouldn't buy it again.
   
   
5. Glass Screen Protector - https://www.amazon.com/CRV-Trapezoid-Tempered-Protector-Navigation/dp/B07454QWD5/
   Basically the same as an iPhone screen protector. Applies the same way, and it fit fine as long as you're careful about bubbles. Edit: Moved to NO! Cracked and bubbled like crazy when the temps went up to 90. Don't buy unless your weather never gets hot.
   
   WishList:
   
   
6. Floormats that don't cost hundreds of dollars.
   
   
7. Same for leatherette/neoprene custom fit seat covers.
   
   
8. Door armrest covers since I tend to rest my arms on them a lot. Having fabric there means it'll wear out eventually.
   
   
9. Louder auto-lock sounds
   
   
10. Different lock sound for manual locking instead of auto-lock from walking away.
    
    
11. Dials for Tach and Speedometers. I miss those.
    
    
12. Separate vent option buttons for climate control. Having to navigate away from music to access ac/heat controls are far more annoying than I had thought.
    
    
13. Why the heck is the CarPlay USB port so far away in the center console? It should be next to the first 12v port. It should also allow connection via Bluetooth since current CarPlay requires a Lightning cable <insert wtf Jackie Chan meme here>. Why is a wire required these days. Honda should just put in a wifi router so it can communicate with smartphones and provide ODB2 connectivity options.
    
    
14. If the car's in Park, Car Play should allow AirPlay duplication from phone to the center screen like an Apple TV. Watching a movie or Youtube while parked should be an option.
    
    
15. Stop auto-playing music when engine/USB cable connects. Arrgh! Who the heck thought that was a good idea? Users want optional switch/setting that should let us turn off autoplay music for those times that we want quiet.

To edge the acrylic I've found an older reddit post where a person used this, https://www.amazon.com/MATCC-Guards-Rubber-Protector-Protection/dp/B01BWKCUAO

So I bought this one, install was super easy. You just need a spray bottle to mix the soap they give you. Just follow the instructions.

Go to a ding removal service. Park in the back of parking lots - lots of people with nice cars (and some with ordinary ones) do this. Also you can put bumpers on your door - '
