Key door lock scratch protector sticky thingy...

I don't know if Ford offered anything like those.  They don't seem to be in the 1986 Accessories catalog, although I may have missed them.  And a search of the master parts catalog didn't turn them up either, although "thingy" may not be the proper spelling.

Bill (NumberDummy) mentioned in a thread on FTE that these were aftermarket and not offered byt Ford.

Here's some Ford Motorsport ones. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Ford-Door-Lock-Guards-by-3M/333489894289?hash=item4da58bf391:g:c3oAAOSwjG5duuy7

Nothing in MPC? I knew I should of spelled it “thingey”!

Thanks for the feedback. I found no Ford examples on Google Images, only ones for (what’s a) Chevy.

I’m thinking it was an OEM accessory but one like you find at the checkout of a parts counter, like next to the bowl of candy, passable paraphernalia just for the sake of slapping on another Ford badge on a bare part of the vehicle.

And yet, I’d like two!

This is why I ask.

On this eBay listing
(https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F113905764611):



you can see on the doors the key scratch guard thingy (or thingey):



Any more information about this elusive part is greatly appreciated.

As much as I can digitally zoom in, me thinks this is them.

I remember when these things were EVERYWHERE and now they are nearly non existant. Most of the time you could find them in gas stations or auto parts stores, even Walmart. Unfortunately they are getting to be few and far between these days.
