  • Patent number: 5524694
    Abstract: An open mesh fabric material defined by hexagonal openings is fashioned into a see-through, protective hood or cover which is fit over the upper or window portion of the door of a motor vehicle, and protects the occupants of the vehicle from rocks, bricks, block and other debris thrown at a motor vehicle. Straps, coupled to the cover, loop around the bottom of the door for securing the cover over the window opening in the door. The straps are preferably elastic so that when fitted under the door the straps hold the cover in place over the window and exert a pulling force on the cover to pull the open mesh material taut over the window opening. Alternatively, buckles or strap length adjusting hardware may be used to shorten the effective length of the straps. A clear, transparent plastic sheet is connected to the cover, positioned inside the hood so as to be situated between the inner surface of the window and the inside sheet of the cover.
