Cause my favourite Chinese, I mean Oriental take out restaurant is there! Best food ever .I'm SHOCKED
You go to a MALL
It wouldn't matter if the OEM ones are higher or the Dawn Enterprises ones are fatter because other vehicles will hit above or below the mouldings no matter how fat or their position.
Only one in 17 months so far. Miraculously didn’t chip the paint; just left a small but noticeable ding on the door panel.
By installing mouldings you're just trying to hopefully sway the law of averages into your favor. If the moldings would have saved me from getting the scratch on the side of my door and I think they would have. Then the mouldings would have been worth it.
That picture I see way too often out and about, and it just makes me sick as to the effen idiots out there! Karma isn’t quick enough!A few weeks after delivery of my '23 XLT hybrid, I parked in a fairly remote section of Home Depot, only to find this upon my return.
Yes, someone had run a shopping cart into my door hard enough to make quite a dent. The lot was flat and level enough that this could not have happened by accident. Some people can really be chickensh*t when the green monster of envy takes over. I suspect their behavior will eventually catch up with them. Karma can be like that. I have since acquired a similar ding on the other side.
I always park farther away, preferably where there is no other vehicles next to mine.
I dunno, my last car had mouldings and I never got dinged. They were wider though and about a third-way up the door. If the Maverick had a wider moulding just above the crease, I think that would cover most of the risk.
I had a cart go completely down the side of a new Monte Carlo SS once. The cart was at the top of the sloped parking lot and the wind got it rolling downhill and tore the hell out of the entire right side of that car. I know how you feel and I'm sorry for you.A few weeks after delivery of my '23 XLT hybrid, I parked in a fairly remote section of Home Depot, only to find this upon my return.

Same thing happened to my old Nissan Quest. The damage was so extensive, an insurance adjuster had a hard time believing me it was a shopping card.
They came with directions with a picture showing where to place them. They gave dimensions in inches. I had mine installed higher than suggested. I parked close to my Silverado and my Focus and rested the door from both vehicles against the Maverick door. I measured both and had them installed fairly close between both contact points. The directions had the placement lower than I had them installed.
