Nik-Guard | Car Door Guards Attachment



When purchasing a new car, most owners purchase additional car side door protection and door guards to protect their car against any bumps, scratches and dings. Not only do they add an extra layer of protection to the car, but they can also add a stylish touch to the overall look of the car. These car side door protection and door guards come in a variety of colors, shapes, sizes and types and can be custom fitted to blend in with the overall look of the car.  But no matter whichever style/type you go for, an important thing to consider is how you want to get them attached to your car.
Your choice of fit actually depends on how permanent you want these car side door protection and door guards to be along with how much work you are willing to put in to get them on the car. Read on to learn about the different ways used to attach these car door guards to a vehicle.

MAGNETS
This type is perfect for those who do not want a permanent guard on their car. Attached by magnets, they can be easily attached any time and are easy to remove. When deciding on this type of guard, you have the option to choose a set that is coated in either rubber or silicone but watch out for those with exposed magnets since they can end up leaving scratches on your car door as well as dull the paint after some time.

RIVETS
Rivets are used to attach new moulding to a car. Although a rather complicated process, it can add to the appearance of your car. 

FRICTION FIT
A removable option for those who are not looking for a permanent guard on their car, this attaches door guards via friction fit and is slipped over the edge of the car door.
