A system for protecting the doors and part of the side panels of a stationary vehicle includes a sheet-like shield that is selectively power actuated from a recessed position within the body of the vehicle to an extended position to protect the vehicle's door panels and part of the side panels. The shield, formed of flexible, yet rigid, material, is engaged by a motor-driven spindle mounted within a cylindrical housing. Projecting members, affixed to the inside of the shield, include end portions that are slidably housed within tracks secured to the door frame to provide paths extending from the cylindrical housing (located within the vehicle's rocker panel) so that, upon activating of the motor, the shield is unwound from the spindle and guided to a side covering position.
