Abstract

The present invention is a removable side bumper which is designed to be placed on the vehicle in a removable fashion when the vehicle is parked so that the vehicle is protected when people in neighboring vehicles open their doors. The present invention provides a shielding, by means of cushioned segments with an inner core tubing for support and a foam outer tubing for a cushioning, connected by a flexible cord which anchors to the wheel wells or the door wells of a vehicle and will prevent the side of the vehicle from being scratched or dented.
