Abstract
A flexible bump protector panel is attachable to the outer surface of an automobile door to prevent its being dented or nicked by the doors of nearby vehicles. A flexible flap extends from the lower edge of the panel for disposition about the door lower edge. One or more flexible straps is/are attached to the flap and to the panel upper edge for extension over the door upper edge. The straps can be tensioned prior to door closure for clamping engagement with the door.
