A resilient protective cover for placement on a vehicle surface area such that the cover is disposed between the surface area and an item subsequently placed against that surface area. The cover includes a flexible resilient layer capable of absorbing weight pressure of the item subsequently placed there against, and a flexible magnetized layer releasably magnetically securable to the vehicle surface area and to which the resilient layer is adhered. The resilient layer preferably has a generally non-slip surface whose surface tension value inhibits slippage of the item placed against it. A score line can be provided at an anticipated bend site, and a cut-out portion likewise can be situated to accommodate vehicle equipment such as a brake light, for example, at an anticipated equipment site. The cover can be sized to extend externally from a roof site over an intersection site to a rear wall site of a cab portion of a pickup truck, with an edge of the resilient layer placeable on the roof site and meant to be oriented in a forward direction being beveled to counteract the tendency of head-on airflow caused by vehicle movement to lift the cover from the roof site. In this manner, a generally stationary protective cover for a vehicle surface is provided against which a cargo item can be positioned without damaging the underlying surface of the vehicle during transport.
