Abstract: The present invention relates generally to protective covers for satellite dishes having a dish reflector body including a front concave face, a rear convex face and a rim portion disposed between the front and rear faces thereof. The protective cover has a substantially rigid, cover body shaped to conform to, and fit over, the front concave face of the satellite dish. The cover body has a body wall constructed from a transparent material. The body wall has a front concave surface, an opposed rear convex face and a peripheral flange disposed therebetween. The peripheral flange extends about the cover body, rearwardly and away from the front concave face of the body wall. The protective cover further includes visual indicia carried on the rear convex face of the body wall. The visual indicia are protected by, and visible from behind, the body wall.

Abstract: A visual parking guide, more particularly, a thin flat surface, divided into three zones, with a multitude of markings in each zone, to assist drivers of varying heights to park their car in a safe parking position. The visual parking guide is mountable on a supporting structure such that at least a portion of the parking guide is within the field of view of the driver. By parking the vehicle at a preferred distance from a stationary structure and aligning a fixed point relative to the vehicle with one of the multitude of markings on the visual parking guide, the driver can determine a reference point to use as a means to determine the safe parking position.
