Default OT: Car Door Bumper for Garage Wall

Saw this solution on a website. Thought I would share. Works great to protect door edges from hitting the garage wall when the fit is a little tight. Split a pool noodle and adhere with spray adhesive. Spray adhesive is not too sticky so it shouldn't damage the wall.

Cheap and effective, but then you have half a noodle on your wall. This isn't interior designer approved either but for $10 looks okay.

These worked well for me. I have white cabinet doors next to one of the parking spots in the garage and these blend in fairly well. Easy to stick on, and are nicely cushioned to protect the door.

While I understand the difficulty in hiring good staff these days, you should never try to deal with staff deficiencies by buying "crutches". Whether it is your chauffer, or your doorman that is banging your car doors, they need to be sent packing! Speak to your Butler or Estate Manager immediately and have them sacked! Good God, man, if you show up at your gentlemen's club with nicks in your Porsche doors, no one will play whist with you, much less invite you to the next polo match!

Luckily it wasn't in my car but she opened her door full velocity into one fo those wait high concrete barriers the other day!!!(normally don't park near them for this reason but had no choice this day...)
