Hey all I'm looking at a car at a local dealership and it happens to have those god awful stainless steel door edge guards. Has anyone removed these before and did it cause the paint to chip or scratch? Also how do you go about removing them? Are they just tapped on with a rubber malet or is there an adhesive? Thanks

here is what i'm talkin about, the chrome protector that is attached to the edge of the door to protect from paint chips and whatnot.... door guard

Yikes. They look pretty attached to most cars but they should come off. It would probably help to heat them. If they pose a problem go to a body shop.

The only thing that does is keep your door from getting jacked when you smash it into someone elses car when opening your door. Note to self....Do not park next to someone with door guard

oh, i see now. we did my friends explorer in those things, but we put it everywhere.lol. its just adhesive, so i would try heating it up like mentioned before. it cant be that strong of adhesive. i see people with that **** all the time and its peeling off. good luck.

heat it up and start from the inside of the door... if your going to jack it up do it where no one can see it. =)
