Hail No!

I live in Texas, where hail the size of golfballs (and larger) is a common spring occurrence. If you have a garage, your car is safe, but if you live in an apartment or a condo with no garage, your automobile (or pickup truck) is at constant risk of being pockmarked with these destructive little forces of nature. My idea is a series of interconnected very thick foam pads that you can drape over your car to protect it from hail. The foam would have to be the really dense stuff, like you cartwheeled on in gym class--so thick or dense that you really almost can't compress it with your hand. I envision a series of panels interconnected by seams (the foam would be encased in indestructable plastic). To use "Hail No!" you would unfold these connected panels down over your car. You'd have one panel over the roof, two panels down across the front and rear windshields, and 2 panels covering the hood and trunk. More panels would drop down vertically to protect the sides (what--you don't have sideways-traveling rain and hail where you live? Boy, that must be nice.) You would affix the panels to your car with bungee cords (the ends of the panels would have some reinforced holes drilled in them for attaching the bungees). This auto accessory would afford at least some protection against hailstorms. After the storm is over, you fold the panels up (the seams would allow you to stack the panels on top of each other), roll the whole thing up in a column, and secure with the bungees until the next time Mother Nature gets pissed off. The name "Hail No!" is self-explanatory, although in Texas, "hail" is really a two-syllable word (Hi-yull). Additional thoughts--get help with production costs by selling the panel space to advertisers. Or imprint the panels with an automaker's logo, and sell them to the dealerships.
