Bumper Blocker Front and Rear Bumper Protectors - FAQ

Why front and rear bumper protection ?
Car bumper protection is a cost effective way to protect your plastic bumpers from parking related bumps at parking garages.

Can the BumperBlocker front and rear bumper protector be used outdoors ?
The BumperBlocker car bumper protectors are covered in a hi-quality 100% cotton fabric that is water resistant, but not waterproof. Consequently, we do not recommend these bumper guards for outdoor parking. A light drizzle will not effect the product. However, moderate to heavy down pours will soak into the fabric. Regular use outdoors will shorten the products life span.

Can I park on the street with a front bumper protector attached ?
A front bumper protector may cover your front license plate. Some states prohibit covering of license plates when parking on the street. If you plan to use the product for street parking, please check your local and state laws before ordering a front and/or rear bumper guard.

Will the BumperBlocker front and rear bumper protector fit every car ?
The BumperBlocker car bumper guard may not fit every car model. Will not fit some vehicles that have exhaust pipes located high in the bumper (i.e. BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne and others). DO NOT USE the Bumper Blocker if it will cover or may come in contact with a vehicle’s exhaust pipes. Please see our fit guide below for additional information: (www.bumperblocker.com/rear_bumper_protection_fit_guide.html)

Rear security straps do not stick to my trunk carpet ?
Velcro straps may not work with all trunk carpets (sometimes a trunk mat covers the real carpet i.e. Lexus cars, Toyota etc.). Other options: (a) drop the straps inside the trunk and close the trunk lid. The weight of the lid will hold the straps in place. (b) Purchase additional Velcro tabs from a hardware store and attach to any hard surface inside the trunk. Straps can then attach here.

Never drive and/or operate a vehicle with the BumperBlocker bumper guards attached. Product may come loose while driving and fly of the vehicle causing injury and vehicle damage.

Will the car bumper guards protect my bumper in event of an accident ?
Front and rear bumper protectors were designed for parking use only and may help protect the bumper finish only. Front and rear bumper guards were not designed to protect a vehicle during a collision or accident.
