No do NOT park next to old people!! They are THE worst at giving car dings and possible run into your car with there's without even knowing it.

x2 on the old people. They swing theirs doors open and don't even realize they hit something. I can't tell you how many times I've seen old people in the grocery store pull up until they nudge the bumper of the car in front of them, then back up, so they know they are in the spot far enough.

Speaking of this I still haven't gotten 3 huge door dings in my drivers door fixed. It looks like they hit my drivers door with a closed fist. Maybe I cut someone off and it was their way of getting even. Lol.
Anyway it's an eye sore definitely. Anyone know a PDR guy in the Los Angeles area?

I have found my door mouldings are extremely effective. They seem to be in the perfect spot. Unfortunately I seem to get digged on the fenders instead all the time. Bastards!

I'm hoping the 2014 tahoe doors have plastic molding on about the first half of the doors...that's about the only way I think I could avoid the door dings. Didn't they used to make a saturn car that had plastic doors? I thought I remembered an ad where a little kid was hitting the door with his bat.

I'll add parking next to other clean or cared for vehicles. If you find a nice esky backed in or a Mercedes etc, chances are there not going to swing there door into you.

Also how does the paintless door repair work?

X4 ^^^^

Try to park next to well cared for / especially customized GMT's. There is a mutual respect. I know I would try my best to avoid hitting another Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, etc. :Handshake:
