Abstract: An apparatus for protecting a vehicle windshield which is light-weight and virtually undetectable when secured to a windshield and a method for removably securing the apparatus to an existing windshield. The apparatus of the present invention comprises a main body formed of a substantially thin, clear material, such as plexiglass, of a one-piece construction. The main body includes a top face and a bottom face and is structured and sized to lie in an overlying relation upon a vehicle windshield. The main body may be of generally flat rectangular configuration for use with flat windshields or curved rectangular configuration for use with curved windshields. The apparatus is removably secured to an existing windshield by applying an adhesive material to the main body and positioning the main body onto the windshield in overlying relation thereto, so that the bottom face of the main body is in substantially direct contact with the outer surface of the windshield.
