    Bummer! I put the side moldings on mine shortly after I bought it. I don't know if they help, but they damned sure can't HURT!

    I didn't like the way they raked up towards the back of the car with the factory-style install, so I put mine on a little more level.

    debburyl,
    Try a paintless dent repair service, amazing results. I got one ding I haven't fixed, but it's not really noticeable. Someones trash can blew down the road, made a right turn into my driveway and dinged the bottom of my passenger door. The car was eight weeks old. Really annoying.
    I park away from everyone when I can.

    Molding may help, but I had it on a Mustang once and the person hit it so hard the molding had a dent in it.

    Grr!

    On the bright side: most those white paint marks can be removed... I'd try different solvents before any kind of compounding. If they haven't broken your paint, it may clean up completely.

    I like paintless dent "massaging/removal" too. I've even tried it myself with patience and some plastic tools (with varying success... sometimes very good).

    Wow!! Normally I park far away from everyone else!! The Frist one in my drivers door is just a little mark . Not real noticeable . And I had parked closer to the door of Mcds . So after that I didn't park close anymore. The two that I posted the one on my back Door I think my handicap nabor did that with her chair. And the passenger door I had parked I thought far enough away! It's weird I park to where I think no one else will park and when I come out, I can't find my car!!!! Everyone else has parked around my car!!!

    Man I hate dings. Especially when you get them at work from a fellow coworker. That's always nice

    Door dings and, more recently, people scraping the car when pulling into a parking spot.

    I've had 3 fenders get scratched on my car recently! I'm going to be putting pipe insulation on the fenders.
