Because there are two x 1/2" strips, it's possible they'll say 1".
I had the same inquiry, so I reached out to 3M directly. Rebranded version of the same product. The new color scheme is purple. The color blue has been phased out.
It will fit around bent corners, but unless you physically modify the tape, a small visible crease may appear.
First and foremost, let me state that I have had this door protector on my doors for over six months and it is still in excellent condition. I've hit my garage walls a couple of times and there's no fading, cracking, or anything like that. on the inside of the door or the outside of the wall I believe it would protect your car from scuffing if you collided with another vehicle. It's a smooth, clear surface, and as far as I could tell, unless you hit the other car hard enough to dent it, there would be no sign of contact or scuffing. That hasn't been put to the test.

Never use this product; it will never come off cleanly after three years. The door edge must be cleaned with sandpaper. br>I use Thinner, but don't worry, it won't be cleaned.
I just finished installing these today and thought it would be beneficial to share how easy they are to install. First and foremost, these are two half-inch strips. As a result, it is limited to. Your door edge should be 25 inches on both sides. If you only have two doors, you'll need one for each. This is actually sufficient for providing the "edge" protection that you require. Simply clean both the outside and inside edges of your door, according to the instructions. After the 20th wiping, check to see if your towel has picked up any more dirt. Clean your hands once you're certain the edge is completely clean. Otherwise, your fingers will contaminate the adhesive, and you will be deemed a failure. As a result, make certain that your hand is also clean. This is a three-step procedure that begins on the outside and ends on the inside. edge> Start about 3 millimeters down from the top of the edge when applying the strip, making sure you don't touch any of the trim. Then, eyeball your strip to be about half of the length of the outside edge you're applying it to. The strip will be guided and eyeballed with one hand, while the strip will be pressed down with the other. It's easier for me to stretch the strip slightly as I guide it into place, and it also works well for rounded corners. Take your time with this so that everything is even. It will most likely be longer than you require; I had to shave off about 5 inches. Then, to seal it, you'll only press on the edge part. Finally, press the inside edge to seal it (don't worry about being too precise here), and voila! You've completed the task! Great product; only a small amount of it is visible, but it gets the job done. Everyone has the best of luck!.
It's a pleasure to work with, and the product is simple to install and attractive. But here's the thing: here's what's going on. THE PRODUCT IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO BE USED FOR A LONG TIME. I put it to the test by allowing my door edge to collide with common obstacles that we all face, which is why we use it in the first place. What I've discovered, and what I noticed the first time my edge came into contact with something, is that the material is extremely soft, dings easily, and cuts all the way through. The material at the impact point is wiped out the first couple of times it strikes something. My package's material was so soft that when it hit something, it tore all the way through and looked like crap, indicating that it had lost its ability to protect me from harm. Keep in mind that in my case, I've only had light bumps. It's not like I'm slamming my door shut on something. I give it a thumbs down because of the toughness and durability issues.
The only problem was that there wasn't enough glue at the end for good adhesion, so I had to cut off the first eight inches of the top. Otherwise, just go with the flow. I cleaned the door edge with regular Zippo lighter fluid and a shop towel. It is non-abrasive to the paint and effectively removes any dirt or oil. It also works wonders when it comes to getting rid of glue. Because the strip material is elastic, applying slight tension to it while installing it will improve adhesion and prevent wrinkles. They are virtually undetectable once installed. Much better than the chrome/black/clear plastic strips available at auto parts stores, in my opinion.
My wife was hitting a dangling ladder on her side, so I tried parking further to the left, but she gets out with these large work bags, so Because I noticed some minor chipping on her door, I decided to give this product a try. After painting the chips, I used this Door Edge, which holds up well even when she slams the door shut. It's a thin strip, so you'll have to be careful when applying it, and you can cut it and apply it in strips.
This is fantastic, and it should be standard equipment on all car doors, in my opinion. It's a clear, thick tape with a light adhesive that's simple to apply. I simply cleaned the door's edge thoroughly and followed the instructions to apply it along the entire edge. You can put this protective film on your car if you know how to wash it. If you make a mistake, simply peel it off and replace it where you want it. It's almost imperceptible once it's up and running. It also protects your car door, as well as the door of the car next to you, from minor nicks and scratches caused by opening your door too quickly. br>br>There are two strips of film included in the package, which will cover two doors. So far, I've only used it on our two cars' driver's side doors. I plan on purchasing more for all of our car doors, and I hope that everyone who parks next to me will do the same.
For several years, I've been using this on two cars in our family. Because the tape is soft, it can tear and nick when it comes into contact with hard objects. It does, however, provide excellent protection for the door edges and is less noticeable than some clip-on bands. (I've had problems with clip-on protectors obstructing door closing or directing sand and debris toward the paint. ) br>br>Because the film is a bit of a sacrifice, I plan to replace it every six months or so. It's simple to apply and remove, leaving no residue behind. To me, the most important criteria are that I don't get chips on the door edge, that I don't damage other cars in the area, and that it's simple to apply. There is enough film in each package to cover two doors. Doors that don't come into contact with other vehicles, walls, or other objects (like the edge of my back gate) have a tendency to last for years; the driver's door takes the brunt of the abuse.
