A universal set of thick silicone nano protective films for Volkswagen vehicles (compatible with 1990-2026 models). The kit consists of 8 pieces: 4 contoured door cup guards (measuring 9 × 9 cm) and 4 protective door edge/handle strips (measuring 15 cm × 15 mm). The accessory boasts an impressive thickness of 700 microns, guaranteeing absolute protection of the paintwork against scratches, chips, and scuffs in areas of constant physical contact.
Silicone Door Handle Guards for Volkswagen (Set of 8)
The area underneath car door handles is one of the most vulnerable spots on any vehicle. Daily contact with fingernails, rings, and keys inevitably leads to a dense web of scratches that dulls the finish and ruins the exterior's look. This thick 700-micron silicone nano-film takes all the mechanical damage upon itself. Thanks to the high elasticity of the silicone, the 9 × 9 cm cup guard perfectly conforms to the spherical shape of the door recess, while the long strips protect the protruding edge of the handle itself from bumping into adjacent cars or walls in tight parking spaces.

Key Benefits
- Maximum Protection: The 700-micron thickness acts as a full-fledged buffer, preventing deep scratches from reaching the paint.
- Comprehensive Coverage: The 8-piece set protects all 4 car doors at once (both the inner cup space and the outer handle edge).
- High Elasticity: The silicone easily stretches to fit the deep handle recesses of both modern and classic Volkswagen models.
- Invisible Armor: The transparent glossy material remains virtually unnoticeable on car bodies of any color.
- Safe Adhesive: The film holds securely even during high-pressure washes, yet can be removed without damaging the clear coat when needed.
PRO ADVICE
To install the 9 × 9 cm silicone film evenly and without air bubbles into the curved door cup, use the "wet" application method. Thoroughly wash and degrease the surface. Spray the cup and the adhesive side of the film with a mild soapy water solution (a few drops of baby shampoo in a glass of water). Apply the film — the water will allow it to slide, letting you position it perfectly in the center. Then, carefully squeeze the water out from the center to the edges using your fingers. Slightly warm the sticker with a hair dryer so the silicone molds to the hemisphere shape and bonds permanently.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question: Will this set fit a Volkswagen Golf, Passat, or Tiguan?
Answer: Yes, the dimensions of the guards (9 × 9 cm and 15 cm) are standardized and fit the door handles of the vast majority of Volkswagen models. The only exceptions are cars with specific hidden or pop-out flush handles (like some modern EVs).
Question: Will the silicone turn yellow over time on a white car?
Answer: Modern nano-silicone contains UV filters that prevent rapid fading from sun exposure. With proper body maintenance, the film retains its transparency for a long time.
Question: How do I remove the old film if I want to replace it?
Answer: Thoroughly warm the film with a heat gun or a powerful hair dryer (up to about 60 °C / 140 °F) to soften the adhesive. After that, carefully pry the edge with a plastic trim tool and slowly pull the film towards you. Any potential adhesive residue can be easily wiped away with a silicone remover or rubbing alcohol.
