Greetings,
Here’s a solution and can be used outside of the garage. I made these devices many years ago and sold quite a few at Coffee and Cars, etc.
Take a pool noodle. Use your soldering iron and burn three shallow out depressions down the side (equal spacing). Hot glue three neodymium magnets to the depressions. Wrap the pool noodle and magnets with masking tape.
Now comes the fun part…get some flannel cotton material (choice of colors is up to you)…I used white, gray, black, blue and red flannel cotton purchased from the LA garment district. Borrow your wives sewing machine and sew a sleeve. Take careful measurements. Slide the pool noodle inside the sleeve and tuck the extra material into the hole in both ends.
Draw a straight line on the garage wall (I like using a laser leveling device) and screw in three carefully measured screws to your garage wall, (use a wall anchor for the screws)…again, take careful measurements. Then attach your new ultimate door guard protection system to the wall.
See pic below…it’s the device next to the driver’s door. I sold a few (well, maybe a whole bunch) these door guard protection system at car shows for $19 each or two for $30. Made up a five different colors and batches of 30 or so…used to sell out every time. You can use this device when going to the store…slap it on and remove it when you get back into your car. It also prevents door dings from other cars. And no, no one will steal it.
Hope this helps…be sure to give the sewing machine back to your wife.
