Most people have experienced the frustration of coming back to their car only to find a new door ding. It's even more frustrating when you don't know how it happened. But there are some things you can do to protect your car from those pesky dings.
1. Park in a garage or covered parking spot whenever possible. This will obviously not be possible all the time, but it's the best way to protect your car from door dings.
2. When parking in an uncovered area, try to park next to larger vehicles like SUVs or trucks. They can provide some protection for your car doors.
3. Be careful when opening your car door in tight spaces. Make sure you know where the other cars are and open your door slowly and carefully so you don't accidentally hit another vehicle.
4. Inspect your car regularly for any new door dings and report them to your insurance company right away if they occur while your car is parked in a public place (like a parking lot). Many insurance companies will cover damage caused by door dings if they're reported promptly after they happen
