An automobile window protector comprises a substantially planar, generally rectangular sheet of flexible material held in an open configuration by an elongate curved strip of spring-like material attached to the sheet. Suitable shapes for the elongate strip include an arcuate shape, an arcuate shape with a flattened midportion, a U-shape, a C-shape, and a generally rectangular or oval closed loop. The window protector can be reduced to a compact configuration by twisting and folding it upon itself. A loop of elastic material attached to a midpoint of one of the longer sides of the sheet serves to hold the protector in its compact configuration when the loop is slipped over the folded protector. At or near each corner of the protector is a strip having a connector at its distal end to facilitate attachment of the shield to an automobile. In an alternative embodiment, the ends of the strip of spring-like material have mating connectors attached to them, to secure the protector in its folded, compact configuration. At least one of the major surfaces of the window protector is adapted to reflect light and heat radiation from the sun to prevent it from entering the interior of an automobile. When attached to an outside window, the protector prevents buildup of ice, snow, or dew on the window surface.
