I blogged the other day aboutWhat is everyone doing to counteract door punching?"I was very surprised to hear this comment. I used to have a transparent stone guard film on my 970 Panamera, but I don't have any door punch protection on my current Panamera and Boxster.
So I did a little research on door-punching measures.Choose a wide parking space, don't park next to a car with lots of scratches, and put on door edge protectors."I can only come up with "Of course, that's right." I wonder if that's all there is to it.
I've also looked into anti-door-punching goods, but they don't seem to detract from the car's design.Even if it were practical, I wouldn't want to wear this."Many of them felt that they were not.
Measures related to door punching can be divided into three categories.
(1) Measures to prevent (or not) being doorpunched(Prevention)
(2) Measures to prevent scratches even if (when) you are doorpunched(Mitigation)
3) Measures to restore the wound after being doorpunched in case of an accident.(Repair)
That is. In the case of my family, we only do (1), but when we go shopping at the supermarket or shopping mall in our Panamera, we try to park it in a space where there are no cars around, even if it is a little far from the entrance of the store.
For example, if there is a wall or pillar on the left side of the space and you are not worried about parking on the left side, you should park on the right side of the space at the white line.Don't ever park next to here!"Or park with the aura at full throttle.(Lightly inconvenient parking...sorry)I am aware of parking with as little risk as possible anyway.
However, if it is a parking lot of a shopping mall on holidays or a parking lot that is not that wide, it may not be possible to park spaciously, and in that case, there is no way to prevent it.... So far, I have never been a victim or a perpetrator of door punching, but I don't want to damage my precious Porsche as much as possible.
it is not the case that...What kind of door-punching measures do you take on a daily basis?We would love to hear your countermeasures and recommendations in the comments section, and we will share them on the blog at a later date. Thank you!
