ABSTRACT:
An apparatus used to protect a motor vehicle has a low profile housing placed below a rear bumper of the vehicle, and a cover placed within the housing in an accordion-like fashion. An electric motor drives a roller belt assembly which frictionally engages with the cover to provide a force to aid a user in either the extension from or the retraction into the housing of the cover. The electric motor also drives a trace spool connected to a rear end of the cover for aiding in the retraction of the cover into the housing. The electric motor is controlled from an extension handle attached to a forward portion of the cover.
