The edge guard comprises a generally U-shaped portion fitting onto the trailing edge and an attaching flange extending from an inner leg of the U-shaped portion. A fastening means is provided for coaction between the flange portion of the edge guard and an inner panel of the door. A separate fastening device can be used for the attachment and is illustrated to include a light-reflective medium on the fastener's head which, at night when the door is open, will reflect the headlights of another vehicle approaching from the rear. Plural embodiments are disclosed including non-metallic embodiments and insulated metal embodiments.
