A motoring expert has revealed a tip that can help drivers prevent causing expensive damage when opening their doors in tight spaces.<\/p>\n

@FeuuvertTN is a YouTuber that shares short videos, showing viewers small hacks that they can do around the house and in their car.<\/p>\n

In a recent video, @FeuuvertTN showed viewers how they can avoid denting or chipping the edges of their vehicle\u2019s doors when opening them in tight parking spaces.<\/p>\n

In the video, we see the YouTuber getting out of their white hatchback, only to hit a low bollard that may not have been visible from the door mirror.<\/p>\n

To their frustration, @FeuuvertTN reveals that the impact caused the very edge of the car door to be chipped, which looks unsightly and could lead to rust if it is not treated quickly.<\/p>\n

However, later in the video, @FeuuvertTN shows that motorists can buy small plastic tabs which fit in the corner of each door to prevent damage.<\/p>\n

The protector simply slides onto the door and attaches thanks to adhesive, not requiring any screws or bolts to be fitted.<\/p>\n

The YouTuber finishes the short video by showing how the protectors can easily absorb the impact of the door edge hitting objects whilst still looking smart.<\/p>\n

Car door protectors, sometimes called edge guards, are a common way for drivers to prevent causing dents, chips and scratches.<\/p>\n

They come in different forms, with some protectors spanning the entire length of the door, and colours that best suit the vehicle they are fitted to.<\/p>\n

In addition, some companies also offer protectors to put on the side of car doors to protect damage from other road users.<\/p>\n
