ABSTRACT:
A lens shield assembly and method for protecting recessed vehicular lights, such as the type mounted behind a cutout in an automotive body, from gravel, stone, and other roadway debris. The assembly includes an essentially transparent protective plate that is positionable against an outer vehicle surface (such as a bumper or fender) to cover a cutout behind which a light is recessed. A first retaining member is attachable or fixedly secured to the plate outer region and positioned through the opening in the vehicle surface to secure the plate to the vehicle surface. A clip attaches to an outer region of the plate for sliding engagement along an opening in the plate, and can be positioned against a portion of the vehicle surface which borders the cutout so as to clamp the vehicle surface between the plate and the clip. A fastener such as a screw through the plate opening for coupling the plate to the clip. According to the method, the plate is positioned over the cutout so that the retaining member and clip each extend into the vehicle body member along the border of the cutout. With the retaining member positioned against a first edge portion of the cutout, the clip is moved along the plate opening against a second edge portion of the cutout and clamped against it in order to secure the plate against the vehicle body member. If desired, both the retaining member and the clip can be identically and manipulated to secure the plate to the vehicle. The plate may be clear or colored.
