Body Side Moldings actually prevents door dings? Worth it?

[Revelstoke]

Do you think the add on door guards will prevent door dings? Anyone have pics of them installed on a 6th Gen.?

I got them on my . You cant see them if I take a picture. They will protect the edges of your car. But will still ding another vehicle. I don’t know if they make the horizontal door ding strip

Thanks for the reply, I guess I should’ve said the adhesive color coded body moldings that run parallel to the ground on the lower edge of the doors.

Okay... I considered the body side moldings, but concluded that they cluttered the clean look of the sides the truck. I think one is always subject to dings from varying heights, if you choose tight parking.

Going with a full body XPEL PPF to prevent such occurrences.

Here's some real life pics of the body side moldings on a couple of Underground 2025 4Runners

I ordered my Trailhunter with them. I think that they do prevent shopping carts from dinging the door. I don't have the truck yet.
