Iterative problem solving to stop my Tesla trunk door getting scratched

People often don’t understand that many creative designers tend to be very good at iterative problem solving. Here’s a concrete example

So my old car was shorter than new Tesla - so a little problem I had to solve was how stop the trunk door of my car from getting scratched on my garage door:

This solution would make my father proud .

I shared this solution with my friend Andrew who suggested I should replace this with foam tubing which I could get a from a hardware store. He sent me this link, I ordered it a minute later:

It showed up a few days later and I installed it. In the meantime I texted this page to another friend Övunçn who from his knowledge of cars knew that most cars have adjustable hatch heights. He googled it and texted me this link:

I just implemented both solutions - the reduced height is good when I park in parking garages and the rubber will be helpful should the Tesla ever forget the setting I made or if a friend parks in my garage.
