The present invention generally relates to various door cover systems capable of covering at least a portion of a target space defined in a vicinity of a door opening of an article in order to protect a person or an object disposed in such a portion of the target space from being exposed to weather conditions or precipitations such as rain and snow. The door cover systems of the present invention are also arranged to be removed from and, accordingly, to uncover such a portion of the target space when the person or object leaves the target space. As will be described in greater detail below, such cover systems of the present invention may be practiced by numerous embodiments each of which may include one or more movable door cover members which are arranged to cover and uncover the target space in relation to movements of the doors, paths of such movements, and/or presence of the person or object in the target space. The present invention also relates to various methods of using or providing such cover systems and/or their cover members for covering such a portion of the target space. In addition, the present invention relates to various processes of making such cover systems and/or their cover members. Various door cover systems, methods, and/or processes of the present invention may be advantageously applied to conventional doors of automobiles so as to allow drivers or passengers to get into or out of the automobile without getting wet from the rain or snow. The door cover systems, methods, and/or processes of the present invention may be applied to conventional door-door opening assemblies used for other vehicles and for structures such as houses, buildings, and the like.
