There must be better and cleaner solutions by now.

...and some much worse than others. The most I've seen don't align at the leading edge of either door to the trailing edge of the front fenders near the top in front of the mirrors - rear edge of fender normally sits out about 1/4" from door edge. To me, there is no reason for the sloppy alignment. Even Hyundais have good panel fit for crissakes!

We put a peice of clear tape alone that edge. Change it every other wash, so far so good.
