    Abstract: The present invention in its preferred embodiment is a automotive vehicle dent protection device (10) including a pair of shock absorbing elements (12 and 14) joined by connectors (22 and 24). The shock absorbing elements (12 and 14) include of a series of laterally adjacent pockets (18). The pockets (18) are open to the top, allowing easy removal or replacement of the inserts of shock absorbing material (20). This provides both convenient storage and virtually endless revitalization of the shock absorbing capacity of the dent protection device (10). The height at which the shock absorbing elements (12 and 14) hang on the vehicle is easily adjusted by changing the effective length of the connectors (22 and 24). This allows the device (10) to be adaptable to most types of automotive vehicles. The simple construction and operation of the dent protection device (10) provides efficient, complete, yet inexpensive protection for the exterior of a parked vehicle.
