Abstract: In order to prevent parked automobiles from being dented or scratched when they are parked in a regular parking space in a garage, carport or the like, a pad is suspended from overhead in a location near the car, or between two adjacent cars. The pad may be of substantial extent, such as two feet by five feet, for example, in order to protect all of the areas which might receive small dents from the doors of adjacent cars. The pad is preferably suspended from above the vehicles and is provided with supports such that the pad may be shifted to different stable positions where it is closer to one car or the other, or where it is raised up out of the way to provide additional clearance for other activities.
