Abstract
An impact resistant cover for protecting a vehicle windshield is made up of a plurality of spaced apart rectangular panels, the panels having a flexible, puncture resistant, covering, the covering enclosing a resilient material having a thickness of between 0.5 and 1.5 inches. Flexible webs interconnect the panels while enabling the panels to lie in a common plane in a first selective positioning of the panels, and alternately to lie one panel atop the next panel in a vertically aligned stack of all of the panels, in a second selective positioning of the panels. Handles permit the stack to be carried easily and straps allow the cover to be secured to a vehicle's doors or windows while lying on the vehicles windshield.
