Here's a photo from my IG...
Whenever someone parks too close or I'm nervous, I bring my Door Defender magnetic bumpers out

Cool idea.... but..... wouldn't a door make contact with your rear fender long before it comes near that magnetic bumper?

Stop driving it entirely.

why not put it lower?

Kooldino · 12-20-2012, 09:48 PM

He probably put it that way due to the shape of the truck's door and the projected impact point.

^ Ya know...... that's very true!! lol Looking at the pic again and that makes complete sense! Hahaha

Good idea...did you make them yourself?

I always park in the wide spaces with the wheelchair access ramps. And haven't ever had a problem with anyone parking too close.

Good idea but magnet on a dirty surface or even dusty surface would cause some fine scratches on the clearcoat. I guess its better than getting gashed by a f250 ford lol. Very innovative though

I am curious where you get one of those. Some people in my apartment won't leave me alone even when I park far away.
