No, you should never operate a vehicle with Parking Armor outside your vehicle. Our bumper protector was designed for use on a parked vehicle.

Is the Parking Armor bumper protector weather proof?

Our 100% cotton cover is water resistant and thick, so it is okay for outdoor use (rain, snow, shine). From a scale of 1-10, it received a 7 for water repellancy. A score of 7 means that during excessive exposure to rain there was very minimal water absorption beyond the cover face.


Will the Parking Armor bumper guard protect my car bumper from damage?

Using our bumper protector may help minimize the occurence of scratches and dings to the rear bumper during parking manuevers (when used in accordance to instructions). Since our bumper guard is the biggest and widest product currently available, it will protect more of the bumper. For best results always follow product instructions. For best results, regularly clean the bumper surface of dirt and wipe down the inside of the Parking Armor. Never operate a vehicle with the Parking Armor hanging outside vehicle.

What should I do, the Velcro straps will not stick to my trunk carpet?

Some vehicle makes like Nissan, Toyota and Lexus have rear carpet mats that must be lifted. The Velcro will not stick to these mats, but will stick to the carpet beneath.


The Velcro on the straps ends may not stick to all carpet types. If this happens you can use the two extra Velcro tabs provided. The extra sticky tabs will not stick to carpet - so find a smooth, hard surface. Alternatively, if there is a spare tire compartment you can drop the straps into the compartment and lower the lid on the straps. The weight of the lid will sometimes be enough to hold the straps.
