Abstract: A resilient protective cover for placement on a vehicle surface area such that the cover is disposed between the surface area and an item subsequently placed against that surface area. The cover includes a flexible resilient layer capable of absorbing weight pressure of the item subsequently placed there against, and a flexible magnetized layer releasably magnetically securable to the vehicle surface area and to which the resilient layer is adhered. The resilient layer preferably has a generally non-slip surface whose surface tension value inhibits slippage of the item placed against it. A score line can be provided at an anticipated bend site, and a cut-out portion likewise can be situated to accommodate vehicle equipment such as a brake light, for example, at an anticipated equipment site.
