    What Medic said..^^^^^ Rock sliders and a lift are the answer. Got mine set up that way and it's never been dinged. Watched as others dinged their own doors swinging them open beside my truck. That's always good for a laugh!

    That is pretty bad. Makes me think of the realtor I was riding with a few months back. Every time I got in the vehicle I braced myself, her driving scared the living crap out of me and her parking was almost as bad.

    The realtor wasn't wearing her required prescription glasses. Although I am not sure how much of a difference it would of made in the realtors case..

    ...wow... just wow.

    Out of 4 pages, there's only 2 or 3 posts with actual legitimate, useful suggestions.

    I say you go for the door rubber for her van. I've been looking into some for my truck. They come in just about any colour you could want, from colour matched all the way to bright orange/yellow.

    Also use this as an excuse to get some rock sliders haha. Give her the option to either pay for the dents to be removed, or pay for your sliders.

    As for the carelessness, that's up to you to train her better. Maybe carry one of these and whenever she does something careless, give her a blast.
