    This. :thumbsup:

    I believe the guards are designed to be compression fitted. I imagine they use a specific tool. Maybe try bending them closed a bit more with your fingers and then tapping them on.

    I ordered them from Mcgregor Toyota parts online.

    the TSI says you get one shot putting these on. I did manage to get mine on. Door 1 was my first attempt. Didn’t have a plastic dead blow mallet. Tried to bump it on with my palm. Got a mallet. Doors 2-3-4 when on as per instructions. I slightly compress with rubber covered pliers door 1 and it tapped in place. All is good now.

    Door edge protects little, except the door edge of those who open their doors on other obstacles...

    I installed my door edge guards a week ago. Same Amazon type rubber coated with bendable metal inside. Mine are holding up fine and installed pretty easily. One thing I did notice is areas where the one side of the door may have bulges or uneven/not flat spots may cause the edge guard to come off or not seat properly. I avoided those areas and just tried to get the most problematic points where I know I or the kids will hit when opening the doors.

    I did not seal the top or bottom of the doors. Just the side edges. I started out by pushing in the first couple of inches with my thumb, then I used a rubber mallet to lightly tap into place. You could use a heat gun if the one you purchased has harder plastic material but the thing that holds it on the door is the metal and it’s thin. I wouldn’t suggest hearing it up too much as it may warp it.

    Good luck brother.

    Are they color coded to your vehicle specific color?

    Yep. If it catch it on the right day the discount is great. It varies daily. I bought all my oem accessories from them. Mud guards, bed mat, door edge guards, tail gate insert, bed light kit
