This little car "bites" me all the time.....scratches my hands when cleaning in tight places, burns my leg when I forget about the hot pipes and yes, bangs my head with the quick jacks...almost knocking me out.
Being an RV'er and being aware of sharp edges on trailer slide-out, my wife came up with this idea.
Placing a piece of "water weinny" tube on the sharp edges, you know that colorful foam plastic tubing for use in the swimming pools. It comes in lenghts about 5' long and is cheap to buy.

Anyway, 4 - one foot long pieces of that tubing, with a slit cut into the side in a vertical direction, is then slip over the quick jacks.
The foam protects your car cover and your head.
