ABSTRACT:
Water shield panels which are used in a car wash. The panels prevent water from dripping onto a header over the exit of a car wash. The exit is covered by a door which is made of plastic strips. The water shield panels capture the water during the wash. After the wash and before the car exits the car wash, the panels and the door are opened to avoid dripping water or soap onto the exiting car and to allow it to exit. The panels and the door are folded open by a motor and push/pull rods. The plastic strips making up the door are covered with carpet at their lower ends to prevent their scratching of a car when it exits when the motor is not functioning.
