    Hi: I ordered and received Toyota's body colored door edge guards but they didn't come with install instructions. I attempted to push them on but am worried that I will cause damage to the paint I'm trying to protect! Anyone know the proper way to install these preshaped guards? TIA

    Use a rubber mallet to help "tap" them on. They won't scratch the paint on you doors. Once you have them lined up tap them into place.
