A unitary protective bumper rail for protecting a substrate comprises a resilient, longitudinally-extending mounting member having a substantially planar mounting surface for flush attachment to the substrate, a resilient, longitudinally-extending protective strip, and a hinged connector attached to the mounting member and protective strip along the adjacent longitudinally-extending sides threof. The connector permits pivotal movement of the protective strip relative to the mounting member between a first position in which the protective strip overlies the mounting strip and a second position in which the protective strip is pivoted from the mounting member. The mounting member includes a latch mounted along the longitudinally-extending side thereof opposite the side thereof that is hingedly connected to the protective strip, and the protective strip includes a connector mounted along the longitudinally-extending the thereof opposite the side thereof that is hingedly connected to the mounting member. The latch and connector are arranged to engage each other when the protective strip and the mounting member are in the first position.
