A protector for preventing damage such as dents and scratches on a parked vehicle. The protector comprises a cushion that is suspended from the ceiling using a rope and positioned between adjacent vehicles.

A stabilizer slat is carried by the rope between cushion and ceiling to prevent twisting of cushion and to dampen vibration of rope upon impact of vehicle door.
